Auto emissions The amount of nitrogen oxides (NOX) present in the exhaust of a particular model of old car varies from car to car according to a Normal distribution with mean 1.4 grams per mile and standard deviation . Two randomly selected cars of this model are tested. One has of ; the other has . The test station attendant finds this difference in emissions between two similar cars surprising. If the NOX levels for two randomly chosen cars of this type are independent, find the probability that the difference is greater than or less than .
Joe reads that 1 out of 4 eggs contains salmonella bacteria. So he never uses more than 3 eggs in cooking. If eggs do or don't contain salmonella independently of each other, the number of contaminated eggs when Joe uses 3 eggs chosen at random has the following distribution:
a. binomial; and
b. binomial; and
c. binomial; and
d. geometric;
e. geometric;
In debt? Refer to Exercise 100.
a. Justify why D can be approximated by a normal distribution.
b. Use a normal distribution to estimate the probability that or more adults in the sample have more debt than savings.

a. Find the probability that he buys exactly 5 bottles.
b. Find the probability that he buys at most 6 bottles. Show your work.
Get on the boat! A small ferry runs every half hour from one side of a large river to the other. The probability distribution for the random variable Y = money collected (in dollars) on a randomly selected ferry trip is shown here.
Part (a). Find . Interpret this result.
Part (b). Express the event 鈥渁t least $20 is collected鈥� in terms of Y. What is the probability of this event?
