Question

You myy need to use the appropeiate aspendic table or technology to anwer thls question. The weight of footbal players is normally distnbuted with a mean of 210 pounds and a standard deyiation of 20 pounds. What is the probability of a player weighing mere than 250 pound: A. 0.0023 B. 0.0228 C. 0.977 D. 0.9067

Answer 1

The probability of a player weighing more than 250 pounds is 0.977.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the probability of a player weighing more than 250 pounds, we need to calculate the z-score using the formula z = (x - μ) / σ, where x is the player's weight, μ is the mean weight, and σ is the standard deviation.

Using the given values, we have z = (250 - 210) / 20 = 2.

We can then look up the probability corresponding to a z-score of 2 in the z-table, which gives us a probability of approximately 0.977. So, the correct answer is C. 0.977.
