The Internal Revenue Service reports that the mean federal income tax paid in the year 2010 was $8040. Assume that the standard deviation is $4900. The IRS plans to draw a sample of 1000 tax returns to study the effect of a new tax law. What is the probability that the sample mean tax is between $7500 and s8ooo?

Suppose that the distance of fly balls hit to the outfield (in baseball) is normally distributed with a mean of 247 feet and a standard deviation of 53 feet. Use your graphing calculator to answer the following questions. Write your answers in percent form. Round your answers to the nearest tenth of a percent. a) If one fly ball is randomly chosen from this distribution, what is the probability that this ball traveled fewer than 192 feet? P(fewer than 192 feet) = % b) If one fly ball is randomly chosen from this distribution, what is the probability that this ball traveled more than 204 feet? P(more than 204 feet) = %

LightCastle Partners, a Bangladeshi business management consultant, employs a large number of data analysts to analyze the data in a survey project. The time it takes for new data analysts to learn the analysis procedure is known to have a normal distribution with a mean of 99 minutes and a standard deviation of 14 minutes. a. What is the probability that the new data analysts will take more than 103 minutes to learn the analysis procedure? b. What is the probability that the new data analysts will take between 65 to 134 minutes to learn the analysis procedure? c. To maintain employee standars, LightCastle does not hire any analyst who fails to learn the process within a specified time. Therefore, what should be the specified time limit if they wish to retain at most 91.24% of new analysts?
