Math Problem Statement
averages 129.08 seconds per 2.5 mile lap (in a 7 lap race) with a standard deviation of 2.26 seconds. The distribution of her race times is normally distributed. We are interested in one of her randomly selected laps. (Source: log book of Terri Vogel) Let X be the number of seconds for a randomly selected lap. Round all answers to 4 decimal places where possible. c. The fastest 3% of laps are under ____ seconds.
