A government sample survey plans to measure the total cholesterol level of an SRS of men aged 20-34. suppose that, in fact, the total cholesterol level of men aged 20-34 follows the normal distribution with a mean of 182 milligrams per deciliter.

From a large consignment of clementine fruit destined for a UK supermarket the cus- toms office is making a check at the boarder. According to the sender the weight of the fruit belongs to an unknown distribution of mean 50 g and variance 16 g. If the cus- toms officer takes 100 fruits at random what is the probability that their total weight will be more than 5040 g. Justify any assumptions you make in your calculations.

Suppose X, Y and Z are 3 random variables. The mean of X is 2. The mean of Y is 3. The mean of Z is 4. The standard deviations are 1, 2, and 3 (in the same order). The correlation between any two is -1/4. Find the mean and variance of T = X +Y+ 2Z.
A professor wants to know whether or not there is a difference in comprehension of a lab assignment among students depending on if the instructions are given all in text, or if they are given primarily with visual illustrations. She randomly divides her class into two groups of 15, gives one group instructions in text and the second group instructions with visual illustrations. The following data summarizes the scores the students received on a test given after the lab. Let the populations be normally distributed with a population standard deviation of 5.32 points for both the text and visual illustrations.
