2. In the United States, the year each coin was minted is printed on the coin. To find the age of a coin, simply subtract the current year from the year printed on the coin. The ages of circulating pennies are right skewed. Most circulating pennies were minted relatively recently, and extremely old pennies are rare. Assume the ages of circulating pennies have a mean of 30 years and a standard deviation of 9.9 years.
a. Based on the information given, can we determine the probability that a randomly selected penny is over 10 years old?
b. What is the probability that a random sample of 40 circulating pennies has a mean less than 25 years?
c. What is the probability that a random sample of 40 circulating pennies has a mean greater than 25 years?
d. What is the probability that a random sample of 40 circulating pennies has a mean greater than 32 years? Would this be unusual? Why or why not?

In a recent year, the distribution of age for senators in the United States Senate was unimodal and roughly symmetric with mean 65 years and standard deviation 10.6 years. Consider a simulation with 200 trials in which, for each trial, a random sample of 5 senators’ ages is selected and the mean age is calculated. Which of the following best describes the distribution of the 200 sample mean ages? (A) Approximately normal with mean 65 years and standard deviation 10.6...
