16.)(1 point) After the physical training required during World War II, the distribution of mile run times for male students at the University of Illinois was approximately Normal with mean 7.11 minutes and standard deviation 0.74 minutes. What proportion of these students could run a mile in 8 minutes or less?

17.)(1 point) Emissions of sulfur dioxide by industry set off chemical changes in the atmosphere that result in "acid rain". The acidity of liquids is measured by pH on a scale of 0 to 14. Distilled water has pH 7.0, and lower pH values indicate acidity. Normal rain is somewhat acidic, so acid rain is sometimes defined as rainfall with a pH below 5.0. The pH of rain at one location varies among rainy days according to a Normal distribution with mean 5.6 and standard deviation 0.54. What proportion of rainy days have rainfall with pH below 4.8? (Use Table A to find the proportion.)
