2) The amount of beer (on tap) that a bar sells in a day follows a Normal distribution with a mean of 15 gallons and a standard deviation of 2 gallons.

  1. What is the probability that the bar sells more than 16.15 gallons of beer on a day?

  1. What is the probability that the bar sells more than 1525 gallons of beer over one hundred days?

  1. What is the probability (or your best approximation of this probability) that the average amount the bar sells over 15 days is less than 14.7 gallons? Do you need to use a t distribution to answer this question?

  1. The bar owner is concerned whenever less than 12.5 gallons of beer are sold in a day – refer to such a day as a “Bad Demand Day.” What is the probability that over the next 100 days, the bar has more than 14 “Bad Demand Days”?

A deck consists of cards with 5 suits labelled A to E and numbered ranks from 1 to 6

. Each card is equally likely to be drawn.

Suits A

to C

are red.

Suits D

to E

are blue.

A card is drawn at random from this deck.

1) What is the probability of it having a rank less than or equal to 2 given it has a rank less than or equal to 3?

2)What is the probability that the second card is blue?

3)What is the probability that the second card is blue given that the first card is red?

4)What is the probability that the second card is blue given that the first card is blue?

5)What is the probability that the second card is blue given that the first card has rank 1?


Hint: try cases based on the color of the first card.

According to the article "Are Babies Normal?" by Traci Clemons and Marcello Pagano published in The American Statistician, Vol. 53, No. 4, pp. 298-302, the birth weights of babies are normally distributed with a mean of 3306 grams and a standard deviation of 586 grams.

What is the probability that a randomly selected baby weighs between 3200 grams and 3700 grams? Round your answer to 4 decimal places.

What is the probability that the average weight of 21 randomly selected babies is between 3200 grams and 3700 grams? Round your answer to 4 decimal places.

Why did the probability increase?

A)The probability increased since the sample size increased and the distribution of sample means is more spread out.

B)The probability increased since the sample size increased and the sample means are more concentrated near the mean of 3306.

In the EAI sampling problem, the population mean is $51,800 and the population standard deviation is $4,000. When the sample size is n = 20, there is a 0.4238 probability of obtaining a sample mean within +/- $500 of the population mean. Use z-table.

  1. What is the probability that the sample mean is within $500 of the population mean if a sample of size 40 is used (to 4 decimals)?

  2. What is the probability that the sample mean is within $500 of the population mean if a sample of size 80 is used (to 4 decimals)?

A population proportion is 0.4. A sample of size 300 will be taken and the sample proportion  will be used to estimate the population proportion. Use z-table.

Round your answers to four decimal places.

a. What is the probability that the sample proportion will be within ±0.02 of the population proportion?

b. What is the probability that the sample proportion will be within ±0.08 of the population proportion?
