In students heading to college took the SAT. The distribution of scores in the math section of the SAT follows a normal distribution with mean and standard deviation
The length of time it takes to find a parking space at 9 A.M. follows a normal distribution with a mean of five minutes and a standard deviation of two minutes.
Find the probability that it takes at least eight minutes to find a parking space.
a. 0.0001
b. 0.9270
c. 0.1862
d. 0.0668
In a normal distribution, x = 6 and z = –1.7. This tells you that x = 6 is ____ standard deviations to the ____ (right or left) of the mean.
Suppose that the distance of fly balls hit to the outfield (in baseball) is normally distributed with a mean of 250 feet and a standard deviation of 50 feet.
a. If distance in feet is for a fly ball, then
b. If one fly ball is randomly chosen from this distribution, what is the probability that this ball will travel fewer than 220 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.
A The distance of fly balls hit to the outfield in baseball is denoted as:
B: The probability that a randomly selected fly ball traveled fewer than 220 feet is given by
The life of Sunshine CD players is normally distributed with a mean of years and a standard deviation of years. A CD player is guaranteed for three years. We are interested in the length of time a CD player lasts. Find the probability that a CD player will break down during the guarantee period.
a. Sketch the situation. Label and scale the axes. Shade the region corresponding to the probability.

b. (Use zero for the minimum value of x.)
