Suppose that the distance of fly balls hit to the outfield (in baseball) is normally distributed with a mean of 247 feet and a standard deviation of 41 feet. Use your graphing calculator to answer the following questions. Write your answers in percent form. Round your answers to the nearest tenth of a percent. a) If one fly ball is randomly chosen from this distribution, what is the probability that this ball traveled fewer than 216 feet

77.5% probability that this ball traveled fewer than 216 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the z-score of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

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 p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Mean of 247 feet and a standard deviation of 41 feet.

This means that $\mu = 247, \sigma = 41$

What is the probability that this ball traveled fewer than 216 feet?

The probability as a decimal is the p-value of Z when X = 216. So

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{216 - 247}{41}$

Z = 0.756

Z = 0.756 has a p-value of 0.775

0.775*100% = 77.5%

77.5% probability that this ball traveled fewer than 216 feet.

First, think of what you know. you know that the number t the end of the equation will need to be subtracted because it is the money he lost from buying the lawn mower. and your first two weeks have negative profit, so that tells you that c and d are wrong. now you can plug any of the weeks into a and b to see which one works. i'll start with plugging week 1 into a. $y = 60(1) - 90 \\ y = 60 - 90 \\ y = - 30$ this isn't right because it says your answer for week one should be -90.so now we need to try the same thing with b. $y = 60(1) - 150 \\ y = 60 - 150 \\ y = - 90$ this one got you the right answer, (sometimes if you only check with one of the weeks multiple will work so you need to check with more of the weeks, but it worked out fine here)this means that b is the correct answer.let me know if you need more clarification. i hope this : )
