Question

Major League Baseball requires that its baseballs weigh at least 142 grams and no more than 149 grams. The weights of baseballs manufactured by a particular company are normally distributed with mean 145.2 grams and standard deviation 1.4 grams. What proportion of baseballs made by this company meet the major league standard for weight? (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.)

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
