The random variable x is normally distributed with the given parameters. Find each probability.
b. μ = 87, σ ≈ 19, P(x > 40.5)

In a survey of U.S. adults, 81% feel they have little or no control over data collected about them by companies. You randomly select 250 U.S. adults and ask them whether they feel they have control over data collected about them by companies. Use this information in Exercises 11 and 12.

Determine whether you can use a normal distribution to approximate the binomial distribution. If you can, find the mean and standard deviation. If you cannot, explain why.

Assume the machine shifts and the distribution of the amount of the compound added now has a mean of 9.96 milligrams and a standard deviation of 0.05 milligram. You select one vial and determine how much of the compound was added.

a. What is the probability that you select a vial that is within the acceptable range (in other words, you do not detect that the machine has shifted)? (See figure.)

A survey of adults in the United States found that 61% ate at a restaurant at least once in the past week. You randomly select 30 adults and ask them whether they ate at a restaurant at least once in the past week. (Source: Gallup)

c. Is it unusual for exactly 14 out of 30 adults to have eaten in a restaurant at least once in the past week? Explain your reasoning.

The random variable x is normally distributed with the given parameters. Find each probability.

a. μ = 9.2, σ ≈ 1.62, P(x < 5.97)

The random variable x is normally distributed with the given parameters. Find each probability.

c. μ = 5.5, σ ≈ 0.08, P(5.36 < x < 5.64)

The random variable x is normally distributed with the given parameters. Find each probability.

d. μ = 18.5, σ ≈ 4.25, P(19.6 < x < 26.1)

In Exercises 69 and 70, determine whether you can use a normal distribution to approximate the binomial distribution. If you can, use the normal distribution to approximate the indicated probabilities and sketch their graphs. If you cannot, explain why and use a binomial distribution to find the indicated probabilities.

A survey of U.S. adults found that 72% used a mobile device to manage their bank account at least once in the previous month. You randomly select 70 U.S. adults and ask whether they used a mobile device to manage their bank account at least once in the previous month. Find the probability that the number who have done so is (a) at most 40.

In Exercises 69 and 70, determine whether you can use a normal distribution to approximate the binomial distribution. If you can, use the normal distribution to approximate the indicated probabilities and sketch their graphs. If you cannot, explain why and use a binomial distribution to find the indicated probabilities.

A survey of U.S. adults found that 72% used a mobile device to manage their bank account at least once in the previous month. You randomly select 70 U.S. adults and ask whether they used a mobile device to manage their bank account at least once in the previous month. Find the probability that the number who have done so is (b) exactly 50.
