- Exercise 2: Finding the Area Under the Curve In Major League Baseball, the average fastball pitch is 90 miles per hour, μ = 90, with a standard deviation of 3 miles per hour, σ = 3. A pitcher’s fastball is 96 miles per hour. Is he among the fastest 1 percent of pitchers? A pitcher’s fastball is 95 miles per hour. Is he among the fastest 2.5 percent of pitchers? A pitcher’s fastball is 85 miles per hour. Is he among the slowest 2.5 percent of pitchers? A pitcher’s fastball is 80 miles per hour. Is he among the slowest 1 percent of pitchers? Use Assignment05_Data.xlsx to solve these problems. Or, you may use the Area Under the Curve Table and a handheld calculator. The key part of your solution is used the correct z-value. Remember: z-values can be positive or negative. The Area Under the Curve Table only shows positive z-values. Because the normal curve is symmetrical, the probability of negative z-values are the same has their corresponding…arrow_forwardIQ scores form a normal distribution with a mean of μ =25 and a standard deviation of σ = 12.
