Question:

Suppose the diameter at breast height (in.) of trees of a certain type is normally distributed with μ = 8.8 and σ = 2.8, as suggested in the article “Simulating a Harvester-Forwarder Softwood Thinning” (Forest Products J., May 1997: 36–41).

a. What is the probability that the diameter of a randomly selected tree will be at least 10 in.? Will exceed 10 in.?
b. What is the probability that the diameter of a randomly selected tree will exceed 20 in.?
c. What is the probability that the diameter of a randomly selected tree will be between 5 and 10 in.?
d. What value c is such that the interval (8.8 − c, 8.8 + c) includes 98% of all diameter values?
e. If four trees are independently selected, what is the probability that at least one has a diameter exceeding 10 in.?

Before working at Mariakani, I volunteered at a local community center, where I tutored students from diverse backgrounds. I helped them improve their academic performance and develop self-esteem and confidence. I used creative teaching methods, such as role-playing and group discussions, to make the learning experience more engaging and enjoyable. In addition, I have conducted workshops and training sessions for educators and mental health professionals on various topics related to counseling and psychology. I have presented research papers at conferences and published articles in academic journals. Overall, I am passionate about sharing my knowledge and helping others achieve their goals. I believe that tutoring is an excellent way to make a positive impact on people's lives, and I am committed to providing high-quality, personalized instruction to my students.
