X and Y are independent normal variables for the mass of a filled jar: jar plus contents: X has mean 250 g and standard deviation 4 g, Y has mean 500 g and standard deviation 9 g. Find the standard deviation σ of X + Y.
Normal distribution worksheet with answers

The masses of passengers with luggage are independent and normal with mean 85 kg and standard deviation 12 kg. Find the probability P that the total mass of 12 of them exceeds 999.2 kg. Round z to two decimals.
X is normal with mean 250 g and standard deviation 4 g; Y is independent and normal with mean 500 g and standard deviation 9 g. Find the probability P that X + Y is more than 745.1 g. Round z to two decimals.
The heights of adult men are normally distributed with mean 178 cm and standard deviation 7 cm. Drag the cut-off so the shaded bottom 5% is to the left of it. Find the cut-off x.
Hole diameters D are normal with mean 25.05 mm and standard deviation 0.02 mm. Shaft diameters d are independent and normal with mean 25 mm and standard deviation 0.01 mm. A randomly chosen shaft fits when D − d > 0. Find the probability P that it fits. Round z to two decimals.
