A recent study was conducted and it found that IQ’s are normally distributed with a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15. Use this information to find the following probability.  What is the probability that a randomly selected individual would have an IQ of at most 106?   Make sure to write your answer as a decimal rounded to 3 decimal places. For example, if you thought the answer was 23.173% then you would type in 0.232.

A recent study was conducted and it found that IQ’s are normally distributed with a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15. Use this information to find the following probability.  What is the probability that a randomly selected individual would have an IQ less than 96 and greater than 103?   Make sure to write your answer as a decimal rounded to 3 decimal places. For example, if you thought the answer was 23.173% then you would type in 0.232.

A recent study was conducted and it found that IQ’s are normally distributed with a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15. Use this information to find the following probability.  What is the probability that a randomly selected individual would have an IQ less than 131?   Make sure to write your answer as a decimal rounded to 3 decimal places. For example, if you thought the answer was 23.173% then you would type in 0.232.

A recent study was conducted and it found that IQ’s are normally distributed with a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15. Use this information to find the following probability.  What is the probability that a randomly selected individual would have an IQ of more than 124?   Make sure to write your answer as a decimal rounded to 3 decimal places. For example, if you thought the answer was 23.173% then you would type in 0.232.

The CBEST is a test that individuals in California must take before they can become substitute teachers at the K-12 level. One portion of the exam is devoted to mathematics and it consists of 50 multiple choice questions that each have 5 possible options. Suppose Jim took the CBEST test and decided to randomly guess on all 50 questions. Use this information to answer the following question.  What is the probability that Jim gets anywhere from 8 to 17 correct? Make sure to type in your answer as a decimal rounded to 3 decimal places. For example, if you thought the answer was 0.54321 then you would type in 0.543.

Consider a town where the average age of all individuals is 34.2 years old with a standard deviation of 18.5 years. Suppose you were to randomly select 50 individuals from this town as part of a study.  What is the probability that the average age of the 50 individuals in your study would be less than 35 years old or greater than 28 years old?

Consider a town where the average age of all individuals is 36.6 years old with a standard deviation of 17.3 years. Suppose you were to randomly select 50 individuals from this town as part of a study.  What is the probability that the average age of the 50 individuals in your study would be less than 28 years old and greater than 41 years old?

In 2018, a study was conducted that stated that the average commute time to work for Kern County residents was 22.6 minutes. Suppose you were hired to determine if the average commute time is different than it was in 2018. You randomly sample 87 individuals who commute to work from Kern county and you find that their average commute time was 20.8 minutes and you find the sample standard deviation of commute times for those 87 individuals was 3.6 minutes.  Carry out the appropriate hypothesis test at the
