The annual wages X of the staffs of collage of natural sciences are normally


distributed with mean µ and standard deviation σ. Knowing that P(X > 42320) =

Suppose that an examination consists of six true and false questions, and assume that


a student has no knowledge of the subject matter. The probability that the student will
