QUESTION:
Running a mile A study of 12,000 able-bodied male students at the University of Illinois found that their times for the mile run were approximately Normal with mean 7.11 minutes and standard deviation 0.74 minute.10 Choose a student at random from this group and call his time for the mile Y. Find P(Y < 6) and interpret the result.
ANSWER:Step 1 of 2
Given,
The able-bodied male students at the University,
The mean times for the mile run,
The standard deviation times for the mile run,
Event: Y = time for the mile for a student chosen at random.
Let’s determine the probability of time for the mile less than 6 for a randomly chosen student:
