Suppose . What value of is standard deviations to the left of the mean?
Use the information in Example 6.10 to answer the following questions.
Find the percentile.
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.
