Birthweight at a hospital were reported to have a mean of 3668 grams (g) and a standard deviation of 511 g. These birthweights are normally distributed. Find the probability that a single baby's birth weight was less than 4000 g.
The time taken in the cycling phase of a triathlon has a mean 23.16min and standard deviation 8.39min. Find the probability that the mean cycling time taken by a random sample of 38 competitors is greater than 25 minutes. Give your answer in 3 decimal places.
For runners competing in a marathon, the mean time to run a mile is 4.2 minutes with a population standard deviation of 0.6 minutes. A news reporter is looking to include statistics for his article about fast runners. At a marathon, a random sample of 31 runners was taken and the probability that the mean time to run a mile for the sample will be less than 3.9minutes was found. Was the probability a left-tail, right -tail or two-tail probability? What is the probability that the mean time to run a mile for the sample will be less than 3.9 minutes? Select the two correct answers that apply below. You may use a calculator or the portion of the z-table given below. Round your answer to three decimal places if necessary.
An engineer is going to redesign an ejection seat for an airplane. The seat was designed for pilots weighing between 130 lb and 181 lb. The new population of pilots has normally distributed weights with a mean of 137 lb and a standard deviation of 34.8 lb. if 35 different pilot are randomly selected find the probability that their mean weight is between 130 lb and 181 lb

The population of weights for men attending a local health club is normally distributed with a mean of 184-lbs and a standard deviation of 28-lbs. An elevator in the health club is limited to 32 occupants, but it will be overloaded if the total weight is in excess of 6240-lbs.Assume that there are 32 men in the elevator. What is the average weight beyond which the elevator would be considered overloaded?average weight = lbsWhat is the probability that one randomly selected male health club member will exceed this weight?P(one man exceeds) = (Report answer accurate to 4 decimal places.)If we assume that 32 male occupants in the elevator are the result of a random selection, find the probability that the evelator will be overloaded?P(elevator overloaded) = (Report answer accurate to 4 decimal places.)If the evelator is full (on average) 2 times a day, how many times will the evelator be overloaded in one (non-leap) year?number of times overloaded = (Report answer rounded to the nearest…
