Question

David and Patrick are playing baseball for the Cafe Tropical  team.  Suppose that the distance of fly balls  hit to the outfield (in baseball) is normally distributed with a mean of 250 feet and a standard deviation of 50 feet.

  1. If X = distance in feet for a fly ball, then X ~ N ( , )
  2. If one fly ball is randomly chosen from this distribution, what is the probability that this ball traveled less than 220 feet? Sketch the graph. Scale the horizontal axis X. Shade the region corresponding to the probability. Find the probability. P =
  3. Find the 80th percentile of the distribution of fly balls. 80th Percentile: feet
