The amounts of nicotine in a certain brand of cigarette are
normally distributed with a mean of 0.911 g and a standard
deviation of 0.297 g. The company that produces these cigarettes
claims that it has now reduced the amount of nicotine.
In what range would you expect to find the middle 50% of amounts of
nicotine in these cigarettes (assuming the mean has not
changed)?
Between ____ and ____.
If you were to draw samples of size 54 from this population, in
what range would you expect to find the middle 50% of most average

Between ____ and ____ .
A manufacturer knows that their items have a normally
distributed lifespan, with a mean of 6.1 years, and standard

If 17 items are picked at random, 4% of the time their mean life
will be less than how many years?
Give your answer to one decimal place
