Solve the problem.A physical fitness association is including the mile run in its secondary-school fitness test. The time for this event for boys in secondary school is known to possess a normal distribution with a mean of 440 seconds and a standard deviation of 60 seconds. Find the probability that a randomly selected boy in secondary school can run the mile in less than 302 seconds.

According to a published study, [p]% of men has been involved in a minor traffic accident. Suppose we have randomly and independently sampled [n]00 and asked each whether he has been involved in a minor traffic accident. How many of the sampled men do we expect to have been involved in a minor traffic accident?

Solve the problem.A researcher investigated whether a student’s seat preference was related in any way to the gender of the student. The researcher divided a lecture room into three sections (1-front, middle of the room, 2-front, sides of the classroom, and 3-back of the classroom, both middle and sides) and noted where each student sat on a particular day of the class. The researcher’s summary table is provided below.Suppose a person sitting in the front, middle portion of the class is randomly selected to answer a question. Find the probability that the person selected is female.
