If we model after-tax household income by a normal distribution, then the figures of a 1995 study imply the information in the following table. Assume that the distribution of incomes in each country is bell-shaped and symmetric. Country U.S. Canada Switzerland Germany Sweden Mean Household Income \ 38,000 \ 35,000 \ 39,000 \ 34,000 \ 32,000 Standard Deviation \ 21,000 \ 17,000 \ 16,000 \ 14,000 \ 11,000 If we define a "poor" household as one whose after-tax income is at least 1.3 standard deviations below the mean, find the household income of a poor family in Switzerland.

This exercise is based on the following information, gathered from student testing of a statistical software package called MODSTAT. Students were asked to complete certain tasks using the software, without any instructions. The results were as follows. (Assume that the time for each task is normally distributed.) Assuming that the time it takes a student to complete each task is independent of the others, find the probability that a student will take at least 10 minutes to complete each of Tasks 1 and 2. Round your answer to four decimal places.
