The average height for an NCAA Division 1 men’s basketball player is 77 inches. Assume this data is normally distributed with a standard deviation of 8 inches. Use this information to answer the following question.  What is the probability that a randomly selected NCAA D1 men’s basketball player is at most 72 inches tall? Make sure to round your answer to 2 decimal places; i.e. if your answer was 0.654321 then you would type in 0.65. 

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, in 2019 U.S. households spent an average of $386.92 per month on food. Assume this data is normally distributed with a standard deviation of $112. Use this information to answer the following question.  What Z-score would correspond to a household that spent an average of $555 on food per month in 2019? Make sure to round your answer to 2 decimal places; i.e. if your answer was 87.654321 then you would type in 87.65. 

Suppose you have a standard deck of 52 playing cards and you randomly select 1 card and record whether or not the card that you drew was a “club”. You then return to the card back to the deck and repeat this process a total of 6 times so that you end up drawing 6 cards total. Find the probability that more than 2 of the 6 cards that you drew were clubs.  Make sure to type in your answer rounded to 2 decimal places. For example, if you thought the answer was 1.23456, then you would type in 1.23. Note: In a standard deck of playing cards, 13 of them are clubs and 39 of them are not.

The average height for an NCAA Division 1 men’s basketball player is 77 inches. Assume this data is normally distributed with a standard deviation of 8 inches. Use this information to answer the following question.  What is the probability that a randomly selected NCAA D1 men’s basketball player is more than 73.5 inches tall? Make sure to round your answer to 2 decimal places; i.e. if your answer was 0.654321 then you would type in 0.65. 

A study was conducted that found 15% of all US adults have some form of student loan debt. Suppose you were to randomly sample 100 US adults. What is the probability that at anywhere from 5 to 11 of them would have student loan debt? Use a binomial distribution to answer this question. Make sure to round your answer to 2 decimal places; i.e. if your answer was 0.654321 then you would type 0.65

Suppose you were to flip a fair coin 7 times and you recorded the number of “Tails” that you received. Find the probability that you would get exactly 2 “Tails” out of 7 coin tosses.  Make sure to type in your answer rounded to 2 decimal places. For example, if you thought the answer was 1.23456, then you would type in 1.23.
