The length of time a particular smartphone's battery lasts
follows an exponential distribution with a mean of ten months. A sample of 64 of these smartphones is taken.
a. What is the standard deviation?
b. What is the parameter m ?
A manufacturer produces -pound lifting weights. The lowest actual weight is pounds, and the highest is pounds. Each weight is equally likely so the distribution of weights is uniform. A sample of weights is taken.
Find the probability that the mean actual weight for the weights is greater than .

b.
c.
d.
Find the sum that is standard deviations below the mean of the sums.
