- Suppose a batch of metal shafts produced in a manufacturing company have a standard deviation of 2.4 and a mean diameter of 209 inches. If 69 shafts are sampled at random from the batch, what is the probability that the mean diameter of the sample shafts would differ from the population mean by less than 0.1 inches? Round your answer to four decimal places. use ti 84 devicearrow_forwardThe lengths of pregnancies are normally distributed with a mean of 268 days and a standard deviation of 15 days. a. A wife claimed to have given birth 308 days after a brief visit from her husband, who was serving in the Navy. Find the probability of a pregnancy lasting 308 days or longer. b. A baby is premature if the length of pregnancy is in the lowest 3%. Find the length that separates premature babies from those who are not premature. Must use Excel to solve!

Furthermore, the standard deviation appeared to be around 0.7°F. Assume that a Normal model is appropriate. b) What fraction of people would be expected to have body temperatures above 98.6°F?arrow_forward
