Coal is carried from a mine in west virginia to a power plant in new york in hopper cars on a long train. the automatic hopper car loader is set to put 69 tons of coal into each car. the actual weights of coal loaded into each car are normally distributed, with mean μ = 69 tons and standard deviation σ = 0.9 ton. what is the probability that one car chosen at random will have less than 68.5 tons of coal?

0.2839 = 28.93%

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find find the probability that one car chosen at random will have less than 68.5 tons of coal, we have to find z

Le x be tons of coal in a car

Z = (x – mean)/standard deviation

Z = (x – μ)/ σ

P (x<68.5) = P(z < (68.5-69)/0.9)

P (x<68.5) = P(z < -0.5555)

Then we use the z table to find the area under the curve.

P (x<68.5) = 0.2893

step-by-step explanation:

all group life insurance is term insurance. actually it is annual renewable term and it is rated on the average age and claims experience of the entire group, which is called "experience rating." remember, this type of insurance has a 31-day grace period and is convertible to whole life upon leaving employment. a contributory group plan requires that both the employer and the employees pay part of the premium. at least 75% of those eligible must participate, so the group is sure to get most of the healthy employees as well as those that are sick.
