  • What is the probability that a randomly selected tank will have a capacity of less than 8500 gallons? ______
  • A simple random sample of n = 20 tanks will be selected. Find the z-score corresponding to a sample mean capacity for 20 tanks of 8550. ______
  •  A simple random sample of n = 50 tanks will be selected. What is the probability that the mean capacity for these 50 tanks will be greater than 8540 gallons? ________ (Round all to three decimal places)
