Question
The taxi and takeoff time for commercial jets is random variable x with a mean of 8.4 minutes and a standard deviation of 3.3 minutes assume that the distribution of taxi and takeoff times is approximately normal you may assume that the jets are lined up on a runway so that one taxies and takes off immediately after the other and that they take off one at a time on a given runway
what is the probability that for 40 jets on a given runway total taxi and takeoff time will be less than 320 minutes?

The machine requires the person using it to reach 2 feet from a particular position. The reach from this position for adult women is known to have a mean of 2.7 feet with a standard deviation of 0.5. The reach for adult men is known to have a mean of 3.1 feet with a standard deviation of 0.7. Both women's and men's reach from this position is normally distributed. If this design is implemented, (a) what percentage of women will not be able to work on this instrument panel? (b) What percentage of men will not be able to work on this instrument panel?
