The mean mass of 500 kudu at a private game park is 151 kg and the standard deviation is 15kg. Assume that there is a normal distribution of the masses. (a) Calculate the proportion of kudus that have an average mass between 120 and 155 kg. (b) Calculate the percentage of kudus that have an average mass greater than 185kg.

Total plasma volume is important in determining the required plasma component in blood replacement therapy for a person undergoing surgery. Plasma volume is influenced by the overall health and physical activity of an individual. Suppose that a random sample of 50 male firefighters are tested and that they have a plasma volume sample mean of x = 37.5 ml/kg (milliliters plasma per kilogram body weight). Assume that ? = 7.20 ml/kg for the distribution of blood plasma.

4. A very large population has a mean of 180 and a standard deviation of 24. One day a sample of 64 observations is taken. On another day a sample of 100 observations is taken. Which of the following is true? The standard error of the mean will be smaller with 64 observations. It is impossible to determine any of the above given the available information. The standard error of the mean will be larger with 64 observations. The standard error of the mean will be the same with either 64 or 100 observations.
