The lifespan (in years) of the common house cat is best modeled using a normal curve having mean 12.9 and standard deviation 2.8. Suppose a sample of 36 common house cats are selected at random. Would it be unusual for this sample mean to be more than 14.1 years?

Lifespan: Assume the average life-span of those born in the U.S. is 78.2 years with a standard deviation of 16 years. The distribution is not normal (it is skewed left). The good people at Live-Longer-USA (fictitious) claim that their regiment of acorns and exercise results in longer life. So far, 35 people on this program have died and the mean age-of-death was 83.5 years. (a) Calculate the probability that a random sample of 35 people from the general population would...
