Question: Milk. Although most of us buy milk by the quart or gallon, farmers measure daily production in pounds. Ayrshire cows average 47 pounds of milk a day, with a standard deviation of 6 pounds. For Jersey cows, the mean daily production is 43 pounds, with a standard deviation of 5 pounds. Assume that Normal models describe milk production for these breeds.

a) We select an Ayrshire at random. What's the probability that she averages more than 50 pounds of milk a day?

b) What's the probability that a randomly selected Ayrshire gives more milk than a randomly selected Jersey?

c) A farmer has 20 Jerseys. What's the probability that the average production for this small herd exceeds 45 pounds of milk a day?

d) A neighboring farmer has 10 Ayrshires. What's the probability that his herd average is at least 5 pounds higher than the average for part c's Jersey herd?
