To represent normal variable (distribution) with mean ( µ) and standard deviation (σ) we use shorthand notation X ~ N (µ, σ). For example, suppose the vitamin C content of a particular variety of orange is distributed normally with mean 720 IU and standard deviation 46 IU. If we designate X = the vitamin C content of a randomly selected orange, then our shorthand notation is X~N(720 IU, 46 IU).
To represent probability between two values a and b we use notation P (a< X < b), to represent probability greater than a we use notation P(a>X), and to represent probability less than a, we use notation P(XUse the example and notation to answer the following questions:

2pt 1) What is the probability that a randomly selected orange will have less than 660 IU?

2 pt 2) Using X as the random variable, what probability notation would you use to represent the probability in part 1?

2pt 3) What is the 80th percentile of the distribution of vitamin C content of the oranges?

1pt 4) What proportion of oranges exceed the vitamin C content you found in part (2) above?

3pt 5) What range of vitamin C content values represent the middle 80% of the distribution? State your answer as a probability statement using the probability notation.

The swimming pool is open when the high temperature is higher than 20∘c. lainey tried to swim on monday and thursday (which was 33 days later). the pool was open on monday, but it was closed on thursday. the high temperature was 30 ∘c on monday, but decreased at a constant rate in the next 33 days. write an inequality to determine the rate of temperature decrease in degrees celsius per day, d, from monday to thursday.

The weight of full–grown tomatoes at a farm is modeled by a normal distribution with a standard deviation of 18.4 grams. the 95 percent confidence interval for the mean weight of the tomatoes is calculated using a sample of 100 tomatoes. what is the margin of error (half the width of the confidence interval)?
