The company  wishes to know which is the best model to  adopt for the aircraft based on the following variables:

safety

comfort

durability

life-cycle cost

The company  wishes to use  "hard" data from  tests and "soft" data from surveys.

1. The seats were subjected  to a safety stress test in which scores were assigned on a continuous scale  of 0 to 10.  This test was performed on a large sample of model C seats. The mean score was  6.8 with a standard deviation of  0.34. You may assume that the scores are normally distributed and the stated mean and standard deviation represent our best estimate of those population parameters.

A. Suppose  model C seats were produced by the thousands and suppose we selected one at random  from the huge warehouse full of them. What is the probability that we get a seat that  would score  above an 7.3 on the safety stress test?

B. What is the probability that you get a seat that would fail the stress test if failing is a score of  6.2 or less?

C. Estimate the probability that you get a seat  that would score 7.2.

D.  Suppose you select a  sample of  5 seats, subject each of them to the stress test and compute the mean score for the sample. What is the probability that the mean score will be less than 6.2?
