A farmer harvests several heads of iceberg lettuce. The weight of the heads of lettuce are normally distributed with a mean weight of 2.2 pounds and a standard deviation of .55 pounds. If you choose a head of lettuce at random, what is the probability that the head you chose will weigh: a) Less than 2 pounds? b) Greater than 2.5 pounds? c) Between 1.8 pounds and 2.7 pounds?

Q 53. Prove or Disprove: Prove or disprove by counterexample the following statements. Follow these steps: • Write either 'TRUE’ or FALSE’ next to each statement. • If True, then prove the statement using the tabular form and show each step with justification. • If False, then provide one clear counterexample and show the statement does not hold. a) Let A and B be two events in a sample space, S. If A c B then A° C Bº. b) Let A and B be two events in a sample space, S. Then, P(AnB) < min{P(A), P(B)}. c) The following is a valid probability density function: -2 < x < 0 0 < x < 2 2-x f(x) : otherwise.
The average salary for a civil engineering major is $75,000 with a standard deviation of $10,000. In the previous exercise a university asked one class of 80 students to give their salaries after they graduate. The graduating class of all civil engineers at the university is 200 students. Find the probability the average salary of the 200 students is between $73,000 and $77,000. 0.995 O 0.16 O 0.68

A ski lift states a maximum capacity is 12 people or 2004lb. A worst-case scenario would be 12 adult male passengers since they tend to be heavier verse women and children. Assume adult male weights are normally distributed with a mean of 188.6 lb and a standard deviation of 38.9 lb. A. If 12 men weighed exactly 2004 lb, what would be the average weight? B. Find the probability that a single man will have a weight greater than your result from A. C. Find the probability that a single man will have a weight greater than your result from A. Does the ski lift appear to have the correct weight limit from these results?
