The amount of time required for a mechanic to replace a clutch is normally distributed with mean 90 minutes and standard deviation of 15 minutes. A car is taken to the mechanic to have its clutch replaced. (a) Find the probability that the car will be ready in two hours. (b) Find the probability that the car will not be ready after 80 minutes. (c) Find the probability that the car is ready in between 85 to 95 minutes.

The average number of shoppers at a particular grocery store in one day is 505, and the standard deviation is 115. The number of shoppers is normally distributed. For a random day, what is the probability that there are between 200 and 400 shoppers at the grocery store? The answer should be typed as a decimal with 4 decimal places.
The probabilities that a customer buys 1, 2, 3, 5, 8 apples each day in a grocery store are 0.20, 0.32, 0.23, 0.18, 0.07 respectively. Let B be the number of apples a customer buys in a day. What is the standard deviation?
The weights of all the turkeys sold in Fairfax County in 2020 were recorded in the data set “Fairfax Turkey Weights” found in the histogram. The weights are presented in pounds. There are 235,428 turkeys in this population. Calculate the probability that, in a random sample of eight turkeys, the mean weight is between 17 and 20 pounds. First, draw a picture with the rounded mean and values labeled and the shaded area representing the desired probability. Next, take a picture of your hand drawn sketch and upload it (if you do not have this technology, you may use any other method (i.e. Microsoft paint) to sketch the image). Then, complete this part by standardizing and using the Standard Normal Table to obtain this probability. Show your work “by hand”.
