You can put this solution on YOUR website!
mean = 460 seconds and standard deviation = 60.
\n" ); document.write( "z factor for less than 322 seconds would be:
\n" ); document.write( "z = (322 - 460) / 60 = -2.3
\n" ); document.write( "probability of getting a z factor of less than -2.3 = .0107240811 which can be rounded to .0107.
\n" ); document.write( "the probability of a student running the mile in less then 322 seconds would be .0107.
\n" ); document.write( "you can find this number by looking up in the z-table for a z factor of -2.3.
\n" ); document.write( "one such table can be found here:
