The weather in Rochester in December is fairly constant. Records indicate that the low temperature for each day of the month tend to have a uniform distribution over the interval 15° to 35° F. A business man arrives on a randomly selected day in December. (a) What is the probability that the temperature will be above 28°? (b) What is the probability that the temperature will be between 17° and 27°? (c) What is the expected temperature?

A professor knows that her statistics students' final exam scores have a mean of 80 and a standard deviation of 12.2. In her 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?Hint: You will need to use your knowledge of normal probability distributions to determine the probability of one individual getting an A and then use your knowledge of binomial distributions to determine the probability of 7 students or more out of 25 students getting an A.prob = ____________Report your final answer accurate to 4 decimal places. Do not round any of the numbers in this calculation until the very end of the problem!
