A professor knows that her statistics students' final exam scores have a mean of 80 and a standard deviation of 12.2. In her class, an "A" is any exam score of 90 or higher. This quarter she has 25 students in her class. What is the probability that 7 students or more will score an "A" on the final exam?Hint: You will need to use your knowledge of normal probability distributions to determine the probability of one individual getting an A and then use your knowledge of binomial distributions to determine the probability of 7 students or more out of 25 students getting an A.prob = ____________Report your final answer accurate to 4 decimal places. Do not round any of the numbers in this calculation until the very end of the problem!

The level of nitrogen oxides (NOX) and nonmethane organic gas (NMOG) in the exhaust over the useful life (150,000150,000 miles of driving) of cars of a particular model varies Normally with mean 8080 mg/mi and standard deviation 66 mg/mi. A company has 1616 cars of this model in its fleet. Using Table A, find the level ?L such that the probability that the average NOX + NMOG level ?¯x¯ for the fleet greater than ?L is only 0.030.03 ?

The acceptable level for insect filth in a certain food item is 2 insect fragments (larvae, eggs, body parts, and so on) per 10 grams. A simple random sample of 40 ten-gram portions of the food item is obtained and results in a sample mean of x=2.3 insect fragments per ten-gram portion. What is the probability a simple random sample of 40 ten-gram portions of the food item results in a mean of at least 2.3 P(x≥2.3)= (Round to four decimal places as needed.)
