A large tank of fish from a hatchery is being delivered to a lake. The hatchery claims that the mean length of fish in the tank is 15 inches, and the standard deviation is 6 inches. A random sample of 31 fish is taken from the tank. Let x be the mean sample length of these fish. What is the probability that x is within 0.5 inch of the claimed population mean? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

A large tank of fish from a hatchery is being delivered to a lake. The hatchery claims that the mean length of fish in the tank is 15 inches, and the standard deviation is 2 inches. A random sample of 49 fish is taken from the tank. Let x be the mean sample length of these fish. What is the probability that x is within 0.5 inch of the claimed population mean? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

Biologists gather data on a sample of fish in a large lake. They capture, measure the length of, and release 1,000 fish. They find that the standard deviation is 5 centimeters, and the mean is 25 centimeters. Fill in the blanks with the empirical model to show what length of fish we can expect to find. Round your standard deviation to 2 decimal places before doing your other calculations. Round your solutions to two decimal places.

QUESTION 6 Let x be a random variable representing the length of a cutthroat trout in Pyramid lake. A friend claims that the average length of trout caught in this lake is 19 inches. To test this claim we find that a sample of 13 trout has a mean length of 18.1 inches with a sample standard deviation of 3.3 inches. The population standard deviation is unknown.  If you assume that the population mean is 19, find the P-value corresponding to...

According to a study, the random variable, at least X, expressing the length of the fish endemic to a lake follows a normal distribution with mean µ = 20cm and standard deviation σ = 4cm. a) A fish is fishing by the lake. What is the probability that its length is greater than 18cm but does not exceed 24cm? b) Determine a symmetric mean of the X interval whose lengths are 95% of the lake's fish. c) Angling 4 fish...
