Question 1
pts
The length of time a person takes to decide which shoes to purchase is normally
distributed with a mean of 8.54 minutes and a standard deviation of 1.91. Find the
probability that a randomly selected individual will take less than 6 minutes to select a
shoe purchase. Is this outcome unusual?

Monthly water bills for a city have a mean of $108.43 and a standard deviation of
$36.98. Find the probability that a randomly selected bill will have an amount greater
than $165, which the city believes might indicate that someone is wasting water. Would
a bill that size be considered unusual?

Question 3
pts
In a health club, research shows that on average, patrons spend an average of 42.5
minutes on the treadmill, with a standard deviation of 4.8 minutes. It is assumed that
this is a normally distributed variable. Find the probability that randomly selected
individual would spent between 35 and 48 minutes on the treadmill.
