Question

YodelAir operates a charter jet service out of an airport in a secluded mountain ski resort. The chief safety officer for YodelAir uses a normal distribution with a mean of 623 m and a standard deviation of 120m to model the takeoff distance of the company's X15 jets in wintry weather.
Use this table or the ALEKS calculator to find the percentage of takeoff distances less than 365 m or more than 749 m according to the model. For your intermediate computations, use four or more decimal places. Give your final answer to two decimal places (for example 98.23%).

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.
