What is the probability a player could run the 40 metres in 6.1 seconds??5.5 6.0 6.5 7.0 7.5 8.0 8.5XAgain we will start by drawing a picture. From this picture we can seethat the probability should be quite low. It will definately be lower than0.5, <strong>and</strong> just visually we would imagine it will around 25% Using thepnorm function in R, pnorm(x = 6.1, mean = 7, sd = 0.7 ,lower.tail =TRUE), we find that the p-value is 0.0668. Since this value is above 0.05there is no evidence that Fred’s players are different than the averageplayer <strong>of</strong> similar age.0.06685.5 6.0 6.5 7.0 7.5 8.0 8.5X88
