Final Answer: In conclusion, 83.77 is the average of the student’s scores in a long test in Science with the highest
score of 92 and the lowest is 70. The standard deviation is 2.75, therefore the score of the students to the others
are not that far with the score of the other students

SD = √25.9565
= 5.094752202 or 5.09

Final Answer: The standard deviation of 356 as the highest grams in a packed ground coffee and 340 grams as the
lowest grams is 5.09. It means that the test conducted in a weighing of packed ground coffee means that there is
no specific weight of coffee, given by the solutions above.

2. Solve the following problems. Interpret your computed answer.

B. A manufacturer of light bulbs produces bulbs that last a mean of 950 hours with a standard
deviation of 120 hours. What is the probability that the mean lifetime of a random sample of 10 of
these bulbs is less than 900 hours?
Given:
