Question

Peter has collected data to find that the finishing times for cyclists in a race has a normal distribution. Based on the Empirical Rule, what is the probability that a randomly selected race participant had a finishing time of greater than 171 minutes if the mean is 156 minutes and the standard deviation is 15 minutes

Answer 1

if you remember the bell curve 32 32 13.5 13.5 2.35 2.35 and .15 put the mean in the middle of the bell curve we find that 13.5 + 2.35 + .15 so

16% is your probablility
