The daily use of electricity (measured in megawatt-hours) in a certain town is a normal random variable with a mean of 18 and a standard deviation of 6. What is the probability that on a given day, the use of electricity will be between 15.6 and 19.5 megawatt-hours?
Refer to the information in Problem 1.
When the daily use of electricity exceeds the capacity of the power plant, a blackout occurs.
If we know that the probability of a blackout is 0.33, what is the capacity of the power plant?

. Metropolitan Power and Light (MPL) tracks peak power usage, measured in gigawatts (GW), for its service area. MPL reports that in January peak daily demand for electrical power follows a normal distribution, with a mean of 4.3 GW and a standard deviation of .8 GW. (Note: A gigawatt is 1 billion watts of electricity, approximately the output of a nuclear fission reactor.) For a randomly selected January day: a. There is a 30% probability that peak demand for electrical...
