The length of a carrots is normally distributed with mean 24.3 cm and a standard deviation 6.83 cm. A supermarket buying zucchinis in bulk finds that 15% of them are too small and 20% of them are too large for sale. The remainder, with length between a cm and b cm, are to be sold. Find a and b. solve using normal distribution law

According to an automobile association, the average cost of a gallon of regular unleaded fuel at gas stations in a certain month was $2.825. Assume that the standard deviation of such costs is $0.15. Suppose that a random sample of n = 100 gas stations is selected from the population and the month's cost per gallon of regular unleaded fuel is determined for each. Consider x, the sample mean cost per gallon. Complete part a through d. Click the icon to view the table of normal curve areas. a. Calculate P and o

In this problem, assume that the distribution of differences is approximately normal. Note: For degrees of freedom d.f. not in the Student's t table, use the closest d.f. that is smaller. In some situations, this choice of d.f. may increase the P-value by a small amount and therefore produce a slightly more "conservative" answer.The artifact frequency for an excavation of a kiva in Bandelier National Monument gave the following information.
