Use for questions 37-40: The 100-meter dash times in the girls track meet were normally distributed with a mean of 13 seconds and a standard deviation of 0.3 seconds. Lana finished the race in 13.2 seconds. If 84 other girls ran in the event, approximately how many runners did she beat?

The probability is 0.97682

Step-by-step explanation:

We start by finding the z-values of the runner times given.

Mathematically;

z-score = (x-mean)/SD

From the question, mean = 13 seconds and SD = 0.3 seconds

So for 12.4 seconds, we have;

z = (12.4-13)/0.3 = -0.6/0.3 = -2

For 14 seconds, we have;

z = (14-13)/0.3= 1/0.3 = 3.33

So the probability we want to calculate is;

P(-2<z<3.33)

We can find this using the standard normal distribution table

Mathematically;

P(-2<z<3.33) = P(z<3.33) - P(z < -2)

Using the standard normal distribution table, the value of this is;

P(-2<z<3.33) = 0.97682

point a is the center of the circle that passes through points e, f, and g and the center of the circle that passes through points x, y, and z.
