The weight of people in a small town in Missouri is known to be normally distributed with a mean of 176 pounds and a standard deviation of 27 pounds. On a raft that takes people across the river, a sign states, “Maximum capacity 3,564 pounds or 18 persons." What is the probability that a random sample of 18 persons will exceed the weight limit of 3,564 pounds? (You may find it useful to reference the z table. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round final answer to 2 decimal places.) Probability

The University of Montana admission standards require students to have an ACT score of at least 22. We know that Montana ACT scores are normally distributed with a mean of 20.1 and a standard deviation of 4. A: Students in Oregon have a mean ACT score of 21.1 with a standard deviation of 2.8. If we chose one student each at random from Oregon and from Montana, which student would be more likely to meet the ACT requirements of the University of Montana? Explain your answer using the appropriate statistics and a correctly labeled and shaded normal distribution. B: We know that the Montana ACT scores are normally distributed with a mean of 20.1 and a standard deviation of 4. Assume that the top 2% of individuals in the state are eligible for a state-funded scholarship. What score does an individual need on the ACT to be eligible? Explain your answer using the appropriate statistics and a correctly labeled and shaded normal distribution
