Batter up! In baseball, a player’s batting average is the proportion of times the player gets a hit out of his total number of times at-bat. The distribution of batting averages in a recent season for Major League Baseball players with at least 100 plate appearances can be modeled by a Normal distribution with mean and standard deviation Sketch the Normal density curve. Label the mean and the points that are and standard deviations from the mean.

Shoes Refer to Exercise 1. Jackson, who reported owning 22 pairs of shoes, has a standardized score of z=1.10.
a. Interpret this z-score.
b. The standard deviation of the distribution of the number of pairs of shoes owned in this sample of 20 boys is 9.42. Use this information along with Jackson’s z-score to find the mean of the distribution.
