The tread life of tires mounted on light-duty trucks follows the normal probability distribution with a population mean of 60,000 miles and a population standard deviation of 4,000 miles. Suppose we select a sample of 90 tires and use a simulator to determine the tread life. What is the likelihood of finding that the sample mean is between 59,050 and 60,950? 0.4878 0.9756 0.9878 0.5122
Coal is carried from a mine in West Virginia to a power plant in New York in hopper cars on a long train. The automatic hopper car loader is set to put 65 tons of coal into each car. The actual weights of coal loaded into each car are normally distributed, with mean ? = 65 tons and standard deviation ? = 1.7 ton. (a) What is the probability that one car chosen at random will have less than 64.5 tons of coal? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)(b) What is the probability that 37 cars chosen at random will have a mean load weight x of less than 64.5 tons of coal? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
