The manufacture of a certain part requires two different machine operations. The time on machine 1 has mean 0.5 hours and standard deviation 0.3 hours. The time on machine 2 has mean 0.6 hours and standard deviation 0.5 hours. The times needed on the machines are independent. Suppose that 100 parts are manufactured. What is the probability that the total time used by machine 1 is less than 54 hours?

An electrical appliance made by company A has an average life of 2500 hours, with a standard deviation of 500 hours. Another company B makes this appliance with an average life of 2300 hours, and a standard deviation of 800 hours. We take 300 devices from company A and 200 devices from company B. Calculate the probability that the average life of the sample from company A is 100 hours less than the average life of the sample from company B. O None of the other options O 0.0582 0.4418 O 0.9418
A dean in the business school claims that GMAT scores of applicants to the school's MBA program have increased during the past 5 years. Five years ago, the mean and standard deviation of GMAT scores of MBA applicants were 550 and 60, respectively. 30 applications for this year's program were randomly selected and the GMAT scores recorded. If we assume that the distribution of GMAT scores of this year's applicants is the same as that of 5 years ago, find the probability of erroneously concluding that there is not enough evidence to supports the claim when, in fact, the true mean GMAT score is 590. Assume αα is 0.02.
The average time a CEO remains in office for a certain company is 3.6 years; then a new CEO is selected. It seems that the length of time in office of each CEO is quite unpredictable. What is the standard deviation, in years, of the time until we must find the 6th CEO. What is the probability that no more than 2 CEO's will leave office in the next 5 years?
If Y is a random variable with a mean of 30 and a standard deviation of 10, what is the probability that Y is between 35 and 40?
Each of the batteries in a collection of 40 batteries is equally likely to be either a type A or a type B battery. Type A batteries last for an amount of time that has mean 50 and standard deviation 15; type B batteries last for an amount of time that has mean 30 and standard deviation 6. (a) Approximate the probability that the total life of all 40 batteries exceeds 1700. (b) Suppose it is known that 20 of the batteries are type A and 20 are type B. Now approximate the probability that the total life of all 40 batteries exceeds 1700.
The manufacture of a certain part requires two different machine operations. The time on machine 1 has mean 0.4 hours and standard deviation 0.1 hours. The time on machine 2 has mean 0.45 hours and standard deviation 0.15 hours. The times needed on the machines are independent. Suppose that 65 parts are manufactured. What is the distribution of the total time on machine 1? On machine 2? What is the probability that the total time used by both machines together is between 50 and 55 hours?
The weights of large eggs are normally distributed with mean 65 grams and standard deviation 4 grams. The weights of standard eggs are normally distributed with mean 50 grams and standard deviation 3 grams. 1. One large egg and one standard egg are chosen at random. Find the probability that the weight of the standard egg is more than 4/5 of the weight of the large egg. 2. Standard eggs are sold in packs of 12 while large eggs are sold in packs of 5. Find the probability that the weight of a pack of standard eggs differs from twice the weight of a pack of large eggs by at most 5 grams. This is Probability and Statistics
