A groundsman paces out a soccer pitch with paces which can be taken to be independent from some distribution with mean m and standard deviation m. The groundsman takes one hundred such paces to mark out the pitch. Provide answers to the following to three decimal places. (a) Estimate the probability that the mean of the 100 paces is greater than m. (b) Estimate the probability that the resulting pitch will be within metres of 100 m

The distance in meters that a ball can be thrown by an athlete of a sports school follows a normal distribution with a mean of 35m and a standard deviation of 11.6 1) Find the probability that a randomly chosen athlete can throw a ball between 30m and 40m. 2) Find the probability that a randomly chosen athlete can throw a ball more than 40m 3) What is the probability that the mean of sample is less than 25cm?

1. Suppose that the distance of fly balls hit to the outfield (in baseball) is normally distributed with a mean of 230 feet and a standard deviation of 42 feet. Let X = distance in feet for a fly ball. a. Give the distribution of X. X~_(_,_) b. If one fly ball is randomly chosen from this distribution, what is the probability that this ball traveled fewer than 200 feet? (Round your answer to four decimal places.) cFind the 80th percentile of the distribution of fly balls. (Round your answer to one decimal place.) 2. The length of time it takes to find a parking space at 9 A.M. follows a normal distribution with a mean of 6 minutes and a standard deviation of 2 minutes. Sixty percent of the time, it takes more than how many minutes to find a parking space? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

Suppose that the distance of fly balls hit to the outfield (in baseball) is normally distributed with a mean of 261 feet and a standard deviation of 39 feet. Let X be the distance in feet for a fly ball. a. What is the distribution of X? X ~ N( , ) b. Find the probability that a randomly hit fly ball travels less than 224 feet. Round to 4 decimal places. c. Find the 80th percentile for the distribution of distance of fly balls. Round to 2 decimal places. feet
