Thickness measurements of ancient prehistoric Native American pot shards discovered in a Hopi village are approximately normally distributed, with a mean of 5.2millimeters (mm) and a standard deviation of 1.4 mm. For a randomly found shard, find the following probabilities. (Round your answers to four decimal places.) (a) the thickness is less than 3.0 mm (b) the thickness is more than 7.0 mm (c) the thickness is between 3.0 mm and 7.0 mm

In a population of a certain species of newt, the mean length of the newts is μ= 63 inches and the standard deviation is σ= 3.4 inches. You collect a random sample of n=16 newts. The bell curve below represents the distribution of these sample means. The scale on the horizontal axis is the standard error of the sampling distribution. Complete the indicated boxes, correct to two decimal places. mean of distribution= standard error= Note: The left box is 2 standard errors below the mean. The middle box is the mean. The right box is 2 standard errors above the mean.
