The typical weight of a donut that you'd buy at Bronuts Bakery is 26 grams. Suppose that x isa random variable that describes the weight of a donut bought from this bakery. It turns out thatthe distribution of x is a normal distribution, the mean weight is μ = 26 grams and thestandard deviation is a = 3 grams. Suppose that you work as a donut delivery person andyou're carrying around a giant bag of these donuts. If you were to randomly pick a single donutfrom the bag...(a) What is P(x < 28 grams), the probability that the randomly picked donut weighs less than28 grams?(b) What is P(x > 28 grams)?

given data normal distributionμ = 26σ= 3

Answered: The typical weight of a donut that…

The weights of cans of Ocean brand tuna are supposed to have a net weight of 6 ounces. The manufacturer tells you that the net weight is actually a Normal random variable with a mean of 5.99 ounces and a standard deviation of 0.21 ounces. Suppose that you draw a random sample of 40 cans. Part i) Using the information about the distribution of the net weight given by the manufacturer, find the probability that the mean weight of the sample is less than 5.94 ounces. (Please carry answers to at least six decimal places in intermediate steps. Give your final answer to the nearest three decimal places). Probability (as a proportion) #
According to the Department of Health, Statistics Students sleep an average of 8 hours a night. Assume that ‘hours of sleep a night’ follows a normal distribution with a standard deviation of 1.5 hours. If a statistics student is selected at random what is the probability they sleep less than 6 hours a night? If a statistics student is selected at random what is the probability they sleep more than 8.5 hours a night? If a statistics student is selected at random what is the probability they sleep between than 5 hours and 9 hours a night?
A dean in the business school claims that GMAT scores of applicants to the school's MBA program have increased during the past 5 years. Five years ago, the mean and standard deviation of GMAT scores of MBA applicants were 550 and 60, respectively. 30 applications for this year's program were randomly selected and the GMAT scores recorded. If we assume that the distribution of GMAT scores of this year's applicants is the same as that of 5 years ago, find the probability of erroneously concluding that there is not enough evidence to supports the claim when, in fact, the true mean GMAT score is 590. Assume αα is 0.02.
Suppose that home prices (in thousands of dollars) in a certain region have a mean of 360 and a standard deviation of 180. A realtor randomly selects a sample of 90 homes in the region. Estimate the probability that the sample mean home price from the realtor's data is greater than 400 (thousand dollars). You must justify your solution, and note any assumptions you are making.
Justin and Robbie are golfers. The distribution of Justin's golf scores has a mean of 225 and a standard deviation of 25. Robbie's golf score distribution has a mean of 240 and a standard deviation of 15. Both distributions are approximately normal and they are completely independent of each other. What is the closest probability that Justin will have a higher golf score than Robbie in a randomly selected golf round?
A farmer was interested in determining how many grasshoppers were in his field. He knows that the distribution of grasshoppers may not be normally distributed in his field due to growing conditions. As he drives his tractor down each row he counts how many grasshoppers he sees flying away. After several rows he figures the mean number of flights to be 57 with a standard deviation of 12. What is the probability of the farmer will count 60 or more flights on average in the next 40 rows down which he drives his tractor? Round to four decimal places.

A mathematics professor one to determine whether there is a different in the final average just between the past two semester (semester 1 and semester 2) of his business is statistics classes. For a random sample of 16 students from semester 1, the mean of the final averages was 75 with a standard deviation of 4. For a random sample of 9 students from semester 2, the mean was 73 with a standard deviation of 6. Choose the correct answer
If the distribution of the population has a nonzero standard deviation and mean 12 then the probability that an individual data value will be greater than 14 is always less than the probability that the mean of 45 randomly selected data values will be greater than 14. True or False
Tom works for a fruit company and found that the weight of pineapples are normally distributed with mean is 500 grams and standard deviation is 100 grams. If he randomly chooses 16 pineapples and measure their weights, what is the probability that the average weight is more than 475 grams?

Procter and Gamble reported that an American family of four washes an average of 2000 pounds of clothes each year. If the standered deviation of the distribution is 187.5 pounds, find the probability that the mean of a randomly selected same of 50 families of 4 will be less that 1950 pounds. Round your awnser to four decimal places and assume the variable is normally distributed
