Indicate your final answer, either by a line or a box. Two decimal places, if possible.

1. Waiting Time at a Bank Drive-in Window 2. Waiting

The average waiting time at a drive-in window
of a local bank is 10.3 minutes, with a stan
dard deviation of 2.7 minutes. Assume the
variable is normally distributed. If a customer
arrives at the bank, find the probability that
the customer will have to wait-
a.Between 4 and 9 minutes
b. Less than 5 minutes or more than 10 mins.
2. to Be Seated The average waiting time
to be seated for dinner at a popular restaurant is
23.5 minutes, with a standard deviation of 3.6
minutes. Assume the variable is normally
distributed. When a patron arrives at the restaurant
for dinner, find the probability that the patron will
have to wait the following time.
a. Between 15 and 22 minutes
b. Less than 18 minutes or more than 25 minutes

3. Credit Card Debt The average credit card debt
for college seniors is $3262. If the debt is normally
distributed with a standard deviation of $1100,
find these probabilities.
a. That the senior owes at least $1000
b. That the senior owes more than $4000
4. Summer Spending A survey found that women
spend on average $146.21 on beauty products
during the summer months. Assume the standard
deviation is $29.44. Find the percentage of women
who spend less than $160.00. Assume the variable
is normally distributed.

an iPod is $120 with a standard deviation of $10.50.
The costs are normally distributed. If 15% of the
costs are considered excessive, find the cost in
dollars that would be considered excessive.
3. Ages of Proofreaders At a large
publishing company, the mean age
of proofreaders is 36.2 years, and the
standard deviation is 3.7 years. Assume
the variable is normally distributed.
a. If a proofreader from the company is
randomly selected, find the probability
that his or her age will be between 36
and 37.5 years.
b. If a random sample of 15 proofreaders
is selected, find the probability that the
mean age of the proofreaders in the sample
will be between 36 and 37.5 years.
