**Understanding Probability in Athletic Performance Measurements**The physical fitness of an athlete is often measured by the oxygen uptake, recorded in milliliters per kilogram (ml/kg). For elite athletes, the mean maximum oxygen uptake is found to be 69 ml/kg, with a standard deviation of 7.8. Assuming a normal distribution, the following questions can be explored:**a) Probability of High Oxygen Uptake**- **Objective:** Calculate the probability that an elite athlete has a maximum oxygen uptake of at least 90.8 ml/kg.**b) Probability of Lower Oxygen Uptake**- **Objective:** Calculate the probability that an elite athlete has a maximum oxygen uptake of at most 58.9 ml/kg.These exercises help us understand the distribution and variability of physical performance in elite athletes.

Given that the mean is 69 and standard deviation of 7.8 a) The probability that an elite athlete…

The physical fitness of an athlete is often measured by how much oxygen the athlete takes in (which is recorded in milliliters per kilogram, ml/kg). The mean maximum oxygen uptake for elite athletes has been found to be 69 with a standard deviation of 7.8. Assume that the distribution is approximately normal. a) Find the probability that an elite athlete has a maximum oxygen uptake of at least 90.8 ml/kg.

Researchers wanted to determine if carpeted rooms contained more bacteria than uncarpeted rooms. To determine the amount of bacteria in a room, researchers pumped the air from the room over a Petri dish at the rate of 1 cubic foot per minute for eight carpeted rooms and eight uncarpeted rooms. Colonies of bacteria were allowed to form in the 16 Petri dishes. The results are given in the table below. Assume the distribution to be approximately normal.
