Question

The driving distance for professional golfer, Lion Woods, varies uniformly between 255 and 280 yards. (Round probabilities to four decimals and yardage to two decimals) a) What's the probability that one of his randomly selected drives is between 256 and 260 yards? b) What's the 36th percentile of the distribution of his driving distances? c) What's the standard deviation of his driving variance? d) 53% of his drives are longer than a specific distance. Find that specific distance e) Approximately 68% of his driving distances fall between( (Click to select)

Explanation / Answer

a)P(256<X<260)=(260-256)/(280-255)=4/25=0.1600

b)

36 th percentile =255+0.36*(280-255)=264.00

c)

std deviaiton =(280-255)/sqrt(12)=7.22

d)

for above specific distance =255+(1-0.53)*(280-255)=266.75

e)

fall between 259 and 276

( please revert option given for e if this does not matches; also revert for any clarification)
