Major League Baseball rules require that the balls used in baseball games must have circumferences between 9.00 and 9.25 inches. Suppose a supplier's balls provided to MLB have circumferences normally distributed with a mean of 9.125 inches and a standard deviation of 0.06 inch. What percentage of these baseballs fails to meet the circumference requirement? Round your answer to two decimal places and interpret it in the context of the problem.

Washers' inside diameters are normally distributed with mean 0.5 inches and a standard deviation of 0.005 inches. The washers are considered defective if their inside diameter is less than 0.49 inches or greater than 0.51 inches. Find the percent defective. The number of games major league baseball players play during their careers is normally distributed with mean of 1500 games and a standard deviation of 350 games. What percentage play in fewer than 750 games? Calculate the variance of the random variable that has a uniform distribution between 0 and 3.

According to the Official Rules of Baseball, a baseball must have a circumference not more than 9.25 in or less than 9.00 in and a mass not more than 5.25 oz or less than 5.00 oz. What range of densities can a baseball be expected to have? Express this range as a single number with an accompanying uncertainty limit.
