Thermometers from a factory are designed to register C at the freezing point of water. However, testing shows that some thermometers will register the freezing point of water above or below the C mark. The average of 100 tested thermometers shows that water freezes at C with a standard deviation of C. What is the probability that a randomly selected thermometer will register C between and C? .8413 b. .1587 c. .3173 d. .6827 What is the probability that a randomly selected thermometer will register C above C. .0540 b. .9772 c. .0228 d. .0455 Air Force ejection seats are designed for a weight between 140-211 lbs. If the average woman weighs 143 lbs with a standard deviation of 29 lbs, what percentage of women have a weight between 140-211 lbs? 49% b. 57% c. 53% d. 43% The maximum heart rate for manual snow shoveling was measured for a sample of 10 people under similar conditions. The average maximum heart rate for the sample was 175 beats per minute, and the sample standard deviation for this same group was s 15 beats per minute. Given this data, construct a 95% confidence interval for the mean. One wishes to estimate the mean of a population from a sample of size n drawn fr
