A regulation baseball can weigh no more than 149 grams. A factory produces baseballs with weights that are normally distributed with a mean of 146 grams and a standard deviation of 2.3 grams. (a) If a baseball produced by the factory is randomly selected, what is the probability that it is within regulation weight?

90.32% probability that it is within regulation weight

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean and standard deviation , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

If a baseball produced by the factory is randomly selected, what is the probability that it is within regulation weight?

Probability it weighs 149 or less grams, which is the pvalue of Z when X = 149. So

has a pvalue of 0.9032

90.32% probability that it is within regulation weight

7 ft 6 in means 7 1/2, because 6 in is 1/2 of a foot. 7 ft 8 in means 7 2/3 because 8 in is 2/3 of a foot. 23/3 = 7 2/3. 15/2 = 7 1/2.

23/3   *   15/2   = 57 1/2
