2. Over the past 10 years the local school district has measured physical fitness for all high school freshmen. During that time, the average score on a treadmill endurance task has been µ=19.8 minutes with a standard deviation of σ=7.2 minutes. Assuming that the distribution is approximately normal, find each of the following probabilities.

a. What is the probability of randomly selecting a student with a treadmill time greater than 25 minutes? In symbols, p(X>25)= ?

b. What is the probability of randomly selecting a student with a time greater than 30 minutes? In symbols, p(x>30) ?

c. If the school required a minimum time of 10 minutes for students to pass the physical education course, what proportion of the freshman would fail?

3. Rochester, New York, averages µ=21.9 inches of snow for the month of December. The distribution of snowfall amounts is approximately normal with a standard deviation of σ=6.5 inches. This year a local jewelry store is advertising a refund of 50% off all purchases made in December, if we finish the month with more than 3 feet (36 inches) of total snowfall. What is the probability that the jewelry store will have to pay off on its promise?
