Using the information from Example 6.12, answer the following:
Suppose that the distance of fly balls hit to the outfield (in baseball) is normally distributed with a mean of feet and a standard deviation of feet.
a. If distance in feet for a fly ball, then (------)
b. If one fly ball is randomly chosen from this distribution, what is the probability that this ball traveled fewer than feet? Sketch the graph. Scale the horizontal axis . Shade the region corresponding to the probability. Find the probability.
c. Find the percentile of the distribution of fly balls. Sketch the graph, and write the probability statement.
In a normal distribution, x = 3 and z = 0.67. This tells you that x = 3 is ____ standard deviations to the ____ (right or left) of the mean.
Use the following information to answer the next four exercises:
Find the probability that
Suppose X ~ N(2, 3). What value of x has a z-score of –0.67?
