The data below represents the finishing time (in seconds) for six randomly selected races of a greyhound named Barbies Bomber in the race. Is there evidence to support the belief that the variable \"finishing time\" is normally distributed? 30.26 31.35 32.91 33.06 33.37 33.52

Step 1: To determine if the variable "finishing time" is normally distributed, we can create a normal probability plot or conduct a normality test, such as the Shapiro-Wilk test. Show more…

A simple random sample of 5k race times for 32 competitive female runners aged 15-24 years old resulted in a mean 5k race time of 16.79 minutes. The simple linear regression equation that fit the sample data was obtained and found to be y-predicted =21.506-0.276x , where,x represents the age of the runner in years and y-predicted represents the 5k race time for a competitive female runner in minutes. The proportion of variation in 5k race times that can be explained by the variation in the age of competitive female runners was approximately 0.663. What would be the value of the correlation coefficient?

After collecting the data, Douglas finds that the finishing times for cyclists in a race are minutes and have a standard deviation of 16 minutes. The data is normally distributed with a mean finishing time of . What is the probability that a randomly selected race participant had a finishing time of less than 165 minutes? Use the empirical rule. Provide the final answer as a percentage.

Runners in a race have a mean finishing time of 91 minutes and a standard deviation of 16 minutes. If we assume the runners' times are normally distributed, answer the following: a) What is the probability that the finishing time of a single randomly selected runner is within 5 minutes of the population mean? b) What is the probability that the sample mean finishing time of 9 runners is within 5 minutes of the population mean? c) What is the probability that the sample mean finishing time of 49 runners is within 5 minutes of the population mean? d) Compare the probabilities. What does this tell us about the benefits of a large sample size for estimating the population mean?
