Suppose that the distance of fly balls hit to the outfield (in baseball) is normally distributed with a mean of 255 feet and a standard deviation of 43 feet. Use your graphing calculator to answer the following questions. Write your answers in percent form. Round your answers to the nearest tenth of a percent. a) If one fly ball is randomly chosen from this distribution, what is the probability that this ball traveled fewer than 198 feet? P(fewer than 198 feet) =        % b) If one fly ball is randomly chosen from this distribution, what is the probability that this ball traveled more than 216 feet? P(more than 216 feet) =        %

Suppose that the distance of fly balls hit to the outfield (in baseball) is normally distributed with a mean of 255 feet and a standard deviation of 43 feet.
Use your graphing calculator to answer the following questions. Write your answers in percent form. Round your answers to the nearest tenth of a percent.
a) If one fly ball is randomly chosen from this distribution, what is the probability that this ball traveled fewer than 198 feet?

    P(fewer than 198 feet) =        %

b) If one fly ball is randomly chosen from this distribution, what is the probability that this ball traveled more than 216 feet?

    P(more than 216 feet) =        %
