Question 1179314: Suppose that the distance of fly balls hit to the outfield (in baseball) is normally distributed with a mean of 259 feet and a standard deviation of 40 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 216 feet?
P(fewer than 216 feet) =

b) If one fly ball is randomly chosen from this distribution, what is the probability that this ball traveled more than 234 feet?

P(more than 234 feet) =

I need the steps please. Thank you.

Use VARS2normalcdf(0,216,259,40) ENTER for 0.1412. You put in the left interval, the right interval, the mean the sd, and hit ENTER. 14.12%
for 234
do normalcdf(234,1000,249,40). Nothing magic about 1000.Anything more than 6 sd s will be sufficient.
value is 0.7340 or 73.40%.
