Parminder Singh is the supervisor for the Krishna hydroelectric dam.

He knows that the dam's turbines generate electricity at


He also knows, that daily flow is normally distributed with the mean equal to previous day's flow and a standard deviation of 2
What is the probability that the turbines will generate at the peak rate today?

σ= 850000
rbines generate electricity at the peak rate only when atleast 1000000gallons of water pass through the dam each.
w and a standard deviation of 200000 gallons. Yesterday, 850000 gallons flowed through the dam.
The time it takes an international telephone operator to place an overseas phone call is normally distributed with mean 45 sec
a. What is the probability that my call will go through in less than 1 minute?
b. What is the probability that I will get through in less than 40 seconds?

According to global analyst Olivier Lemaigre, the average price-to-earnings ratio for companies in emerging markets is 12.5.3 A
If a company in emerging markets is randomly selected, what is the probability that its price-per-earnings ratio is above 17.5,
n emerging markets is 12.5.3 Assume a normal distribution and a standard deviation of 2.5.
r-earnings ratio is above 17.5, which, according to Lemaigre, is the average for companies in the developed world?
Under the system of floating exchange rates, the rate of foreign money to the U.S. dollar is affected by many random factors,
The rate of U.S. dollar per euro is believed in April 2007 to have a mean of 1.36 and a standard deviation of 0.03.1 Find the fo
a. The probability that tomorrow’s rate will be above 1.42.
b. The probability that tomorrow’s rate will be below 1.35.
c. The probability that tomorrow’s exchange rate will be between 1.16 and 1.23.

X= 1.42 1.35 1.16
