Terri Vogel, an amateur motorcycle racer, averages 129.95 seconds per 2.5 mile lap (in a 7 lap race)
with a standard deviation of 2.29 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.
a. What is the distribution of X? X ~ N( 129.95
2.29
b. Find the proportion of her laps that are completed between 129.24 and 131.02 seconds. 0.3025
