The taxi and takeoff time for commercial jets is a random variablexwith a mean of8.7minutes and a standard deviation of3minutes. Assume that the distribution of taxi and takeoff times is approximately normal. You may assume that the jets are lined up on a runway so that one taxies and takes off immediately after the other, and that they take off one at a time on a given runway.

(a) What is the probability that for34jets on a given runway, total taxi and takeoff time will be less than 320 minutes? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

(b) What is the probability that for34jets on a given runway, total taxi and takeoff time will be more than 275 minutes? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

(c) What is the probability that for34jets on a given runway, total taxi and takeoff time will be between 275 and 320 minutes? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

It's truesand dunes in Colorado rival sand dunes of the Great Sahara Desert! The highest dunes at Great Sand Dunes National Monument can exceed the highest dunes in the Great Sahara, extending over 700 feet in height. However, like all sand dunes, they tend to move around in the wind. This can cause a bit of trouble for temporary structures located near the "escaping" dunes. Roads, parking lots, campgrounds, small buildings, trees, and other vegetation are destroyed when a sand dune moves in and takes over. Such dunes are called "escape dunes" in the sense that they move out of the main body of sand dunes and, by the force of nature (prevailing winds), take over whatever space they choose to occupy. In most cases, dune movement does not occur quickly. An escape dune can take years to relocate itself. Just how fast does an escape dune move? Letxbe a random variable representing movement (in feet per year) of such sand dunes (measured from the crest of the dune). Let us assume thatxhas a normal distribution with=11feet per year and=3.4feet per year.

Under the influence of prevailing wind patterns, what is the probability of each of the following? (Round your answers to four decimal places.)

(a) an escape dune will move a total distance of more than 90 feet in10years

(b) an escape dune will move a total distance of less than 80 feet in10years

(c) an escape dune will move a total distance of between 80 and 90 feet in10years
