The mean weight of a fire ant worker is 3.11 mg with a standard deviation of .49 mg. Suppose we randomly select 14 different fire ant workers having weights F1, F2, O, F14. Let S = F1 + F2 + .+F14 and let M = S/14. This means S is the sample sum and M is the sample mean of the selected ant weights. (Note: random selection means F1 O F14 are independent.). Assume the Fios are normally distributed.

The burning life (in hours) of electric lamps installed in a street of a city follows a normal distribution with an average of 120 burning hours and variance of 54000 square minutes. Find the probability of the electric lamps that are likely to burn for more than 110 hours more than 5124 minutes and less than 7450 minutes
Rods are produced in large quantities in a factory. The masses of these rods are normally distributed with mean 250g and variance 9g. A random sample of 100 rods is selected. Find the probability that the mean mass of the rods in the sample will lie between 249g and 251g. If the rods are produced in batches of n and a batch is selected at random, find the least value of n such that the probability that the mean mass of the rods in the batch will lie between 249g and 251g is greater than 0.95.
