Suppose that the distance of fly balls hit to the outfield (in baseball) is normally distributed with a mean of 260 feet and a standard deviation of 51 feet.
Use your graphing calculator to answer the following questions. Write your answers in percent form. Round your answers to the nearest tenth of a percent.
a) If one fly ball is randomly chosen from this distribution, what is the probability that this ball traveled fewer than 192 feet?

    PP(fewer than 192 feet) = %

b) If one fly ball is randomly chosen from this distribution, what is the probability that this ball traveled more than 234 feet?

    PP(more than 234 feet) = %
