Question
9) Coal is carried from a mine in West Virginia to a power plant in New York in hopper cars on a
long train. The automatic hopper car loader is set to put 85 tons of coal in each car. The actual
weights of coal loaded into each car are normally distributed, with mean u = 85 tons and
standard deviation o = 1.2 ton.
a) What is the probability that a car chosen at random will have less than 83.5 tons of coal?

10) Suppose x has a normal distribution with o = 6. A random sample of sizen = 16 has sample
mean 50.

population mean µ? Explain.
b) Find a 90% confidence interval for u.
c) Explain the meaning of the confidence interval you computed.
