4.Medium
470542P = ?

The battery lifetimes are normally distributed with mean 500 h and standard deviation 40 h. What fraction lies between 470 and 542 h? Give P as a decimal.

μ = 500σ = 40x1 = 470x2 = 542
P =
5.Hard
10 cm0X − Y?

The heights X of men and Y of women in a group are independent and normal: X has mean 180 cm and standard deviation 10 cm, Y has mean 170 cm and standard deviation 12 cm. Find the probability P that X is greater than Y. Round z to two decimals.

μX = 180 cm, σX = 10 cmμY = 170 cm, σY = 12 cm
P =
6.Hard
4 s0X − Y?

Runner A's lap time X and runner B's lap time Y are independent and normal: X has mean 52 s and standard deviation 4 s, Y has mean 48 s and standard deviation 3 s. Find the probability P that X is greater than Y. Round z to two decimals.

μX = 52 s, σX = 4 sμY = 48 s, σY = 3 s
