Business: distribution of salaries. The salaries paid by a large corporation are normally distributed with a mean μ = $ 75 , 000 and a standard deviation σ = $ 6 , 000 .

a. Find the probability that a randomly chosen employee earns between $72,000 and $85,000 per year.

b. An executive of the corporation earns $90,000 per year. In what percentile of the salaries does this salary place him?

c. A new employee insists on a salary that is in the top 2% of salaries. What is the minimum salary that this employee would accept?

Rylee's car is stuck in the mud. Roman and Shanice come along in a truck to help pull her out. They attach one end of a tow strap to the front of the car and the other end to the truck's trailer hitch, and the truck starts to pull. Meanwhile, Roman and Shanice get behind the car and push. The truck generates a horizontal force of 377 lb on the car. Roman and Shanice are pushing at a slight upward angle and generate a force of 119 lb on the car. These forces can be represented by vectors, as shown in the figure below. The angle between these vectors is 20.2°. Find the resultant force (the vector sum), then give its magnitude and its direction angle from the positive x-axis. 119 lb 20.2° 377 lb
