A government sample survey plans to measure the total cholesterol level of an SRS of men aged 20-34. suppose that, in fact, the total cholesterol level of men aged 20-34 follows the normal distribution with a mean of 182 milligrams per deciliter. The standard deviation is 37 milligrams per deciliter. choose an SRS of 1000 men from this population. Now what is the probability that x falls within + or - 2 milligrams per deciliter of the mean?
A large tank of fish from a hatchery is being delivered to a lake. The hatchery claims that the mean length of fish in the tank is 15 inches, and the standard deviation is 4 inches. A random sample of 26 fish is taken from the tank. Let x be the mean sample length of these fish. What is the probability that x is within 0.5 inch of the claimed population mean?
