Use the normal distribution of SAT critical reading scores for which the mean is
508
and the standard deviation is
110.
Assume the variable x is normally distributed.
(a)
What percent of the SAT verbal scores are less than
550​?
(b)
If 1000 SAT verbal scores are randomly​ selected, about how many would you expect to be greater than
525​?
(a)
Approximately
nothing​%
of the SAT verbal scores are less than
550.
​(Round to two decimal places as​ needed.)
(b)
You would expect that approximately
nothing
SAT verbal scores would be greater than
525.
​(Round to the nearest whole number as​ needed.)

About
76​%
of all female heart transplant patients will survive for at least 3 years.
Seventy
female heart transplant patients are randomly selected. What is the probability that the sample proportion surviving for at least 3 years will be less than
72​%?
Assume the sampling distribution of sample proportions is a normal distribution. The mean of the sample proportion is equal to the population proportion and the standard deviation is equal to
pqn.
The probability that the sample proportion surviving for at least 3 years will be less than
72​%
is
​(Round to four decimal places as​ needed.)
 
 
3)
Assume the geometric distribution applies. Use the given probability of success p to find the indicated probability.
 
Find
​P(5​)
when
p=0.30.
​P(5​)=nothing
​(Round to five decimal places as​ needed.)
 
4)
Find the indicated area under the standard normal curve.
 
Between
z=−1.69
and
z=1.69
 
The area between
z=−1.69
and
z=1.69
under the standard normal curve is

A mechanic sells a brand of automobile tire that has a life expectancy that is normally​ distributed, with a mean life of
31,000
miles and a standard deviation of
2500
miles. He wants to give a guarantee for free replacement of tires that​ don't wear well. How should he word his guarantee if he is willing to replace approximately​ 10% of the​ tires?
 
Tires that wear out by
miles will be replaced free of charge.
​(Round to the nearest mile as​ needed.)

In the game of​ roulette, a player can place a
​$8
bet on the number
10
and have a
138
probability of winning. If the metal ball lands on
10​,
the player gets to keep the
​$8
paid to play the game and the player is awarded an additional
​$280.
​Otherwise, the player is awarded nothing and the casino takes the​ player's
​$8.
Find the expected value​ E(x) to the player for one play of the game. If x is the gain to a player in a game of​ chance, then​ E(x) is usually negative. This value gives the average amount per game the player can expect to lose.
The expected value is $

A binomial experiment is given. Decide whether you can use the normal distribution to approximate the binomial distribution. If you​ can, find the mean and standard deviation. If you​ cannot, explain why.
 
A survey of adults found that
59​%
have used a multivitamin in the past 12 months. You randomly select
40
adults and ask them if they have used a multivitamin in the past 12 months.
Select the correct answer below​ and, if​ necessary, fill in the answer boxes within your choice.
 
 
A.
​No, because
np<5.
 
B.
​No, because
nq<5.
 
C.
​Yes, the mean is
and the standard deviation is
