Question

Refer to question 3 “Drive for Show and Putt for Dough (Chance, Vol 12(4), pg 50-54)” discussed driving distances of PGA players. The mean distance for tee shots on the 1999 men’s PGA tour is 272.2 yards with a standard deviation of 8.12 yards. Assuming that the 1999 tee-shot distances are normally distributed answer the following questions:

Answers for question 3 was "76.47% tee shots went between 260 and 280 yards and 0.03% of tee shots went more than 300 yards" Dont know if these will help

a. Determine the quartiles of the driving distances

b. Find the 95th percentile.

c. Obtain the third decile (i.e. 30th percentile).

d. Interpret your answers in parts a-c

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.
