Suppose that a category of world class runners are known to run
a marathon (26 miles) in an average of 145 minutes with a standard
deviation of 15 minutes. Consider 49 of the races.
Let
X = the average of the 49 races.
Part (a)
Give the distribution ofX.
(Round your standard deviation to two decimal places.)X~
Part (b)
Find the probability that the runner will average between 143
and 148 minutes in these 49 marathons. (Round your answer to four
decimal places.)
Part (c)
Find the 80th percentile for the average of these 49 marathons.
(Round your answer to two decimal places.)
min
Part (d)
Find the median of the average running times.
