11. Answer true or false to each statement. Explain your answers.
a. Two normal distributions that have the same mean are centered at the same place, regardless of the relationship between their standard deviations.
b. Two normal distributions that have the same standard deviation have the same spread, regardless of the relationship between their means.
As reported in Runner's World magazine, the times of the finishers in the New York City -km run are normally distributed with mean minutes and standard deviation 9 minutes.
Part (a): Determine the percentage of finishers who have times between and minutes.
Part (b): Determine the percentage of finishers who have times less than minutes.
Part (c): Obtain and interpret the th percentile for the finishing times.
Part (d): Find and interpret the th decile for the finishing times.
