    The document contains exercises involving calculations of probabilities using the normal distribution. It includes finding probabilities that random variables fall within certain ranges of values given the mean and standard deviation. It also includes finding the value of a for which the probability of a standard normal random variable being less than or greater than a takes on certain values.

    4. Toby’s Trucking Company determined that on an annual basis, the distance traveled per
    truck is normally distributed with a mean of 50.0 thousand miles and a standard deviation
    of 12.0 thousand miles. Find the proportion of trucks expected to travel
    (a) between 34.0 and 50.0 thousand miles in the year;
    (0.4087)

    be normally distributed with a mean of 1003 ml and standard deviation of 3.5 ml.

    (a) A bottle is chosen at random, what is the probability that it contains more than
    1000 ml of shower gel? (0.8042)
    (b) In a batch of production, 5.7% of the bottles are rejected because their contents
    are below the minimum volume. Find the minimum volume in a bottle before it is
    rejected. (997.4665)
