5. Jockeys in the United States and England work very hard to keep their weight down. Many participate in weight-loss programs, carefully monitor their diet, and exercise regularly. The weight of a male jockey is approximately normal with mean 52 kg and standard deviation 1.2 kg. Suppose a male jockey is randomly selected. (a) What is the probability that the jockey weighs more than 53 kg? (b) What is the probability that the jockey weighs between 50 and 54 kg?...

Some of the common medications to help people with insomnia fall asleep include Ambien, Lunesta, and Sonata. Ambien CR is an extended-release variation and is formulated so that an individual will fall asleep within 30 minutes. The probability density function for X, the time (in minutes) it takes to fall asleep after taking an Ambien CR tablet, is given below. 0.05, f(x) = -0.0025(x-30), 0, (a) Verify that this is a valid probability density function. if 0 ≤...
