Park Rangers in a Yellowstone National Park have determined that fawns less than 6 months old have a body weight that is approximately normally distributed with a mean µ = 26.1 kg and standard deviation σ = 4.2 kg. Let x be the weight of a fawn in kilograms. Complete each of the following steps for the word problems below:  Rewrite each of the following word problems into a probability expression, such as P(x>30).  Convert each of the probability expressions involving x into probability expressions involving z, using the information from the scenario.  Sketch a normal curve for each z probability expression with the appropriate probability area shaded.  Solve the problem.

1. What is the probability of selecting a fawn less than 6 months old in Yellowstone that weighs less than 25 kilograms?

2. What is the probability of selecting a fawn less than 6 months old in Yellowstone that weighs more than 19 kilograms?

3. What is the probability of selecting a fawn less than 6 months old in Yellowstone that weighs between 30 and 38 kilograms?

4. If a fawn less than 6 months old weighs 16 pounds, would you say that it is an unusually small animal? Explain and verify your answer mathematically.

5. What is the weight of a fawn less than 6 months old that corresponds with a 20% probability of being randomly selected? Explain and verify your answer mathematically.

On January 1, Park Corporation and Strand Corporation had condensed balance sheets as follows:

On January 2, Park borrowed $66,000 and used the proceeds to obtain 80 percent of the outstanding common shares of Strand. The acquisition price was considered proportionate to Strand’s total fair value. The $66,000 debt is payable in 10 equal annual principal payments, plus interest, beginning December 31. The excess fair value of the investment over the underlying book value of the acquired net assets is allocated to inventory (60 percent) and to goodwill (40 percent).

(1) On a consolidated balance sheet as of January 2, what should be the amount for current assets?

(2) On a consolidated balance sheet as of January 2, what should be the amount for non current assets?

Grades on a standardized test are known to have a mean of 10901090 for students in the United States. The test is administered to 458458 randomly selected students in​ Florida; in this​ sample, the mean is 1104.171104.17 and the standard deviation ​(s​) is 117.72117.72. Another 508508 students are selected at random from Florida. They are given a​ 3-hour preparation course before the test is administered. Their average test score is 1110.711110.71 with a standard deviation of 103.55103.55.
