There
have
been
some
outstanding
hitters
in
baseball.
In
1911,
Ty
Cobb’s
batting
average
was
0.420.
In
1941,
Ted
Williams
batted
0.406.
George
Brett’s
0.390
average
in
1980
was
one
of
the
highest
since
Ted
Williams.
Batting
averages
have
historically
been
approximately
normally
distributed
with
means
and
standard
deviations
as
shown
below.
Compute
z-‐scores
for
each
of
these
three
hitters.
Can
you
rank
the
three
hitters?
Explain.

The
amount
of
annual
rainfall
in
a
certain
region
is
known
to
be
a
normally
distributed
random
variable
with
a
mean
of
50
inches
and
a
standard
deviation
of
4
inches.
If
the
rainfall
exceeds
57
inches
during
the
year,
it
leads
to
floods.
Find
the
probability
that
during
a
randomly
selected
year
there
will
be
floods.

The weight of food packed in certain containers is a normally distributed random variable with a mean weight of 500
pounds and a standard deviation of 5 pounds. If a container is picked at random, find the probability that it contains:
5) The diameter of a lead shot has a normal distribution with a mean diameter equal to 2 inches and a standard deviation
equal to 0.05 inches. Find what diameter a circular hole should be so that only 3 percent of the lead shots can pass
through it.
6) The nicotine content in a brand of king-size cigarettes has a normal distribution with a mean content of 1.8 mg and a
standard deviation of 0.2 mg. Find the probability that the nicotine content of a randomly selected cigarette of this brand
will be:
d) What value is needed so that 80 percent of the cigarettes will exceed it in their nicotine content?
7) The demand for meat at a grocery store during any week is approximately normally distributed with a mean demand of
5000 pounds and a standard deviation of 300 pounds.
a) If the store has 5300 pounds of meat, what is the probability that they will run out during a random week?
b) How much meat should the store have in stock per week so as to only run short 10 percent of the time?

water-‐jug-‐refilling
machine.
The
