Question 1
At the U.S. Open Tennis Championship a statistician keeps track of every serve that a player hits during the tournament. The statistician reported that the mean serve speed of a particular player was 98 miles per hour (mph) and the standard deviation of the serve speeds was 9 mph. Assume that the statistician also gave us the information that the distribution of the serve speeds was mound-shaped and symmetric. What proportion of the player's serves was between 107 mph and 116 mph?
◦ 0.95
◦ 0.1350
◦ 0.270
◦ 116
Question 2
The amount of time workers spend commuting to their jobs each day in a large metropolitan city has a mean of 70 minutes and a standard deviation of 20 minutes. Assuming the distribution of commuting times is known to be moundshaped and symmetric, what percentage of these commuting times are between 50 and 110 minutes?
◦ approximately 68%
◦ approximately 95%
◦ approximately 81.5%
◦ approximately 97.5%
