2. The score distribution shown in the table is for all students who took a yearly AP statistics exam.

Score % of students
  5          13.3
  4          22.9

3. Assume that the duration of human pregnancies can be described by a normal model with mean 264 days and standard deviation 19 days.

a) what percentage of pregnancies should last between 275 and 285 days? (round to one decimal place as needed)

b) suppose a certain obstetrician is currently providing prenatal care to 20 pregnant women. Let y represent the mean length of their pregnancies. According to the central limit theorem what is the mean and standard deviation of the normal model of the distribution of the sample mean y?

c) What is the probability that the mean duration of these patients pregnancies will be less than 258 days?

b) at least how many days should the longest 20% of all pregnancies last?

4. Carbon monoxide emissions for a certain kind of car vary with mean 3.778 g/mi and standard deviation 0.8 g/mi. A company has 60 of these cars in its fleet. Let y represent the mean CO level for the companies fleet.
