 But most population distributions are not approximately normal.

Example 1: Soda cans are filled such that the volume is approx. normally dist. with a mean of 12 oz and a stdev of 0.15 oz. Suppose we select 16 cans and find an average volume of oz. Is this unusual?

Example 2: Acme Fasteners Co. produces bolts which are supposed to have a mean diameter of 0.5 inches and a standard deviation of 0.02 inches.

Example 2, con’t: The machine will be shut down and recalibrated if the mean diameter of the bolts is less than 0.49 or greater than 0.51 inches.

Example 2, con’t: Suppose you take a sample of 37 bolts. What is the approx. probability that the machine will be shut down unnecessarily?

Example 3: Suppose that the weights of people are approx. normally distr. with mean 164 lbs and stdev 23 lbs. 16 people get on an elevator which states the following:

Example 3, con’t: “No more than 16 persons. Weight limit 2500 lbs.” What is the approx. prob. that the elevator will be over the limit?

Example 4: Mini-Mart receipts show that customer purchases have a skewed dist. with mean $32 and stdev $20.

Example 4, con’t: What is the prob. that one customer will make a purchase greater than $40?

Example 4, con’t: Is it likely that the next 50 customers will spend an average of at least $40?

Example 5: Pollution (CO emissions) for a specific make and model of a car vary with a mean of 2.9 g/mile and a stdev of 0.4 g/mile. Your company owns 8 of these cars. BVD p. 430

Example 5, con’t: Say your 8 cars get an average of 2.75 g/mile of CO emissions. Is this unusual? BVD p. 430
