The mass of coffee in a randomly chosen jar sold by a certain company may be taken to have a normal distribution with means 203 g and standard deviation 2.5g. (i) Find the probability that a randomly selected jar will contain at least 200g of coffee. Obtain the probability that two randomly selected jars will together contain between 400g and 405g of coffee. (ii) (iii) The random variable C denotes the mean mass (in grams) of coffee per jar in a random sample of 20 jars. Identify the value of a such that P(C – 203 < a) = 0.95.

Suppose steel wires have the tensile strength represented by a normal distribution with mean value equal to 5000N and standard deviation equal to 150N. Knowing that these wires will be used in the manufacture of a steel cable to be mounted on the boom of a crane, what should be the number of wires to be used in the manufacture of this cable so that the probability of the cable breaking with a load less than 50,000N is 2%?What would be the safety factor associated with this probability of failure?Suppose the resistance of the cable is expressed by the sum of the resistance of the wires that make it up.
Assume that the square footage of a residential house in the US is normally distributed with a mean=1000 and standard deviation=150 square feet. If we select a random house what is the probability that it will be at most 1050 square feet?
Let X be a random variable that represents the level of glucose in the blood (milligrams per deciliter of blood). The distribution of X for a healthy person is normally distributed with men u = 85 and standard deviation o = 25. A person suffers from severe excess in insulin would have a lower level of glucose. A blood test with result of X < 40 would be used as an indicator that medication is needed. (a) What is the probability that a healthy person will be suggested with medication after a single test? (b) A doctor uses the average result of 2 tests for diagnosis, that is X. The second test will be conducted one week after the first test, so that the two test results are independent. For many healthy persons, each has finished two tests, find the expectation and standard error of the distribution of X. (c) The doctor suggests medication will be given only when the average level of glucoses in the 2 blood tests is less than 40, that is X < 40, so to reduce the chance of…
Two students are taking a college entrance exam and known to have a normal distribution of scores. Both students receive raw scores of 60 and 97, which correspond to z scores (often called the standardized scores) of -1.5 and 3 respectively. Answer the followings: (a) Denote the normal probability distribution of the raw exam scores. (b) Calculate the value of mean for the distribution of raw exam scores. (c) Calculate the value of standard deviation of the raw exam scores.
