A shipyard makes a container ship that can withstand the total amount of weight W, which is normally distributed with mean of 600 tons and standard deviation of 60 tons. Let us assume that the weight of a single container that will be loaded to the container ship is also normally distributed with mean of 4 tons and standard deviation of 0.4 tons. What is the maximum number of containers that the ship can load and still have at least a 90% chance to not exceed its weight limit? Your answer has to be an integer

If we increase our food intake, we generally gain weight. Nutrition scientists can calculate the amount of weight gain that would be associated with a given increase in calories. In one study, sixteen non-obese adults, aged 25 to 36 years, were fed 1,000 calories per day in excess of the calories needed to maintain a stable body weight. The subjects maintained this diet for 8 weeks, so they consumed a total of 56,000 extra calories. According to theory, 3,500 extra...
