A manufacturer claims that the tensile strength of a certain composite (in MPa) has the lognormal distribution with parameters µ = 4 and σ = 0.5. Let X be the strength of a randomly sampled specimen of this composite. What is the probability P(X < 20)?

A manufacturer claims that the tensile strength of a certain composite (in MPa) has the lognormal distribution with µ = 4, and σ^2 = 0.16. Let X be the strength of a randomly sampled specimen of this composite. Find the 60th percentile of the tensile strength (use the number that is closest in the table).

Suppose that the tensile strength of a particular wood is lognormally distributed with a mean of 10 MPa and a coefficient of variation of 25%. If a random sample of this wood is tested, (a) What is the probability that its tensile strength will lie between 6 and 12 MPa? (b) Suppose that the design tensile strength of this wood is its 10th percentile. What is this wood's design tensile strength? (Note: the 10th percentile is the value, x10, such that P[X < x10] = 0.1)
The compressive strength of samples of cement can be modeled by a normal distribution with mean of 6000 kilograms per square centimeter and a standard deviation of 100 kilograms per square centimeter. What is the probability that a sample's strength is less than 6250 kg/cm²? What is the probability that a sample's strength is between 5800 and 5900 kg/cm²? What strength is exceeded by 95% of the samples?
