Question

19 A group of young women trying out for the college football team is asked to throw a softball as far as possible. The mean distance for the group is 155 feet with a standard deviation of 14.82 feet. What is the probability of selecting at random one woman who can throw the ball: p = a. 172 feet or more? p = b. 160 feet or less? p = c. between 145 and 165 feet?

Step 1

To find the z-score, we use the formula: z = (x - μ) / σ where: x = given distance (172 feet) μ = mean distance (155 feet) σ = standard deviation Plugging in the values, we get: z = (172 - 155) / σ Show more…
