Sales for Hobi-cat, a 17-foot catamaran sailboat, have averaged 250 boats per month over the last 5 years with a standard deviation of 25 boats. Assuming that the demand is about the same as past years and follows a normal curve, what is the probability that sales will be less than 280 boats next month?

A professor knows that her statistics students' final exam scores have a mean of 79 and a standard deviation of 12.4. In his class, an "A" is any exam score of 90 or higher. This quarter she has 25 students in her class. What is the probability that 7 students or more will score an "A" on the final exam?
A population has a mean of 75 and a standard deviation of 15. You randomly sample 9 from the population. What is the likelihood that the sample mean will fall between 70 and 80?
A paper manufacturer has a production process that operates continuously throughout an entire production shift. The paper is expected to have a mean length of 11 inches, and the standard deviation of the length is 0.02 inch. At periodic intervals, a sample is selected to determine whether the mean paper length is still equal to 11 inches or whether something has gone wrong in the production process to change the length of the paper produced. You select a random sample of 50 sheets, and the mean paper length is 7.998 inches. Construct a 95% confidence interval estimate for the population mean paper length
The manager of a supermarket tracked the amount of time needed for customers to be served by the cashier. After checking with his statistics professor, he concluded that the checkout times are exponentially distributed with a mean of 5 minutes. What propotion of customers require more than 10 minutes to check out?
An electrical firm manufactures light bulbs that have a length of life that is normally distributed with mean equal to 818 hours and a standard deviation of 43 hours. Find the probability that a bulb burns between 782 and 871 hours. (Write your final answer in decimal form, and round off to 4 decimal places.)
A homeowner has installed a new energy-efficient furnace. It is estimated that over a year the new furnace will reduce energy costs by an amount that can be regarded as a random variable with a mean of $200 and a standard deviation of $60. Stating any assumptions you need to make, find the mean and standard deviation of the total energy cost reductions over a period of 5 years.

Jeremiah earned a score of 530 on Exam A that had a mean of 450 and a standard deviation of 40. He is about to take Exam B that has a mean of 63 and a standard deviation of 20. How well must Jeremiah score on Exam B in order to do equivalently well as he did on Exam A? Assume that scores on each exam are normally distributed.
