1) A manufacturer knows that their items have a normally
distributed length, with a mean of 9.8 inches, and standard
deviation of 1.9 inches.
If 22 items are chosen at random, what is the probability that
their mean length is less than 8.7 inches?
2) A company produces steel rods. The lengths of the steel rods
are normally distributed with a mean of 211.7-cm and a standard
deviation of 2-cm. For shipment, 19 steel rods are bundled
together.
Find the probability that the average length of a randomly selected
bundle of steel rods is between 211.3-cm and 212.2-cm.
P(211.3-cm < M < 212.2-cm) =
