Biology and Environmental Science

The salinity, or salt content, in the ocean is expressed in parts per thousand (ppt). The number varies with depth, rainfall, evaporation, river runoff, and ice formation. The mean salinity of the oceans is 35 ppt. Suppose the distribution of salinity is normal and the standard deviation is 0.52 ppt, and suppose a random sample of ocean water from a region in the tropical Pacific Ocean is obtained.

a. What is the probability that the salinity is more than 36 ppt?

b. What is the probability that the salinity is less than 33.5 ppt?

c. A certain species of fish can only survive if the salinity is between 33 and 35 ppt. What is the probability that this species can survive in a randomly selected area?

d. Find a symmetric interval about the mean salinity such that 50% of all salinity levels lie in this interval. What are the endpoints of this interval called?
