A hundred squash balls are tested by dropping from a height of 100 inches and measuring the height of the bounce. A ball is fast if it rises above 32 inches. The average height of bounce was 30 inches and the standard deviation was 3/4 inches. What was the chance of getting a fast standard ball ?
------------------
z(32) = (32-30)/(3/4) = 2/(3/4) = 8/3
-----
P(x > 32) = P(z > 8/3) = normalcdf(8/3,100) = 0.0038
