Terri Vogel, an amateur motorcycle racer, averages 129.71 seconds per 2.5 mile lap with a standard deviation of 2.28 seconds. The distribution of her race times is normally distributed.
-------------------
Find the z-value with a left tail of 10%::
invNorm(0.10) = -1.2816
Find the corresponding time value:
Lower limit::::: x = -1.2816*2.28+129.71 = 126.79 seconds
------
z-value with a right tail of 10%::
invNorm(0.10) = 1.2816
Upper limit;:::: x = 1.2816*2.28+129.71 = 132.63 seconds
================================================
c.)The middle 80% of her laps are from _______ seconds to _______ seconds
