The manufacturer of cans of salmon that are supposed to have a net weight of 6 ounces tells you that the net weight is actually a normal random variable with a mean of 6.23 ounces and a standard deviation of 0.24 ounce. Suppose that you draw a random sample of 43 cans. Find the probability that the mean weight of the sample is less than 6.22 ounces. Probability =

Assume that the height of a type of tree has a normal probability distribution with a mean of 85.9 ft and a standard deviation of 9.4 ft. A tree of this type grows in my backyard and it stands 59.6 feet tall. Find the probability that the height of a randomly selected tree is as tall as mine or shorter. My neighbor also has a tree of this type growing in her backyard, but hers stands 74.6 feet tall. Find the probability that the full height of a randomly selected tree is at least as tall as hers.

About 79% of all female heart transplant patients will survive for at least 3 years. Eighty female heart transplant patients are randomly selected. What is the probability that the sample proportion surviving for at least 3 years will be less than 70%? Assume the sampling distribution of sample proportions is a normal distribution. pq The mean of the sample proportion is equal to the population proportion and the standard deviation is equal to n The probability that the sample proportion surviving for at least 3 years will be less than 70% is| (Round to four decimal places as needed.)
Español The producer of a weight-loss pill advertises that people who use the pill lose, after one week, an average (mean) of 1.85 pounds with a standard deviation of 0.95 pounds. In a recent study, a group of 55 people who used this pill were interviewed. The study revealed that these people lost a mean of 1.9 pounds after one week. If the producer's claim is correct, what is the probability that the mean weight loss after one week on this pill for a random sample of 55 individuals will be 1.9 pounds or more?
