Terri Vogel, an amateur motorcycle racer, averages 129.79 seconds per 2.5 mile lap (in a 7 lap race) with a standard deviation of 2.3 seconds . The distribution of her race times is normally distributed. We are interested in one of her randomly selected laps. (Source: log book of Terri Vogel) Let X be the number of seconds for a randomly selected lap. Round all answers to 4 decimal places where possible.
a. What is the distribution of X? X ~ N( , )
b. Find the proportion of her laps that are completed between
131.13 | 133.1 |
seconds.
d. The middle 80% of her laps are from seconds to seconds.c. The
fastest 4% of laps are under seconds.
