The mean height of 15-year-old boys (in cm) is 175 and the variance is 64. For girls, the mean is 165 and the variance is 64. Assuming that the two populations are normally distributed. If eight boys and eight girls were sampled, then the probability that the mean height of the sample of boys will exceed the mean height of the sample of girls by 2 or more is: 0.0062 0.9938 0.9878 0.9972

Suppose the horses in a large stable have a mean weight of 1354 lbs, and a variance of 9604. What is the probability that the mean weight of the sample of horses would be less than 1364 lbs if 43 horses are sampled at random from the stable?
According to previous studies, the mean distance each visitor in Greenspan National Park hikes during their visit is 30 kilometers. The park recently closed its shuttle system, which used to transport hikers to many of the park's most popular hiking trails. Because of this, an administrator at the park suspects the mean distance, u, is now less than 30 kilometers. The administrator chooses a random sample of 45 visitors. The mean distance hiked for the sample is 27.2 kilometers. Assume the population standard deviation is 9.9 kilometers. Can the administrator conclude that the mean distance hiked by each visitor is now less than 30 kilometers? Perform a hypothesis test, using the 0.10 level of significance.

An engineer is going to redesign an ejection seat for an airplane. The seat was designed for pilots weighing between 130 lb and 181 lb. The new population of pilots has normally distributed weights with a mean of 136 lband a standard deviation of 29.6 lb. b. If 38 different pilots are randomly selected, find the probability that their mean weight is between 130 lb and 181 lb.
