Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To find the probability of a player weighing less than 250 pounds, we need to calculate the z-score first:
z = (250 - 200) / 25 = 2
Then, we can use a standard normal table or calculator to find the area to the left of z = 2, which is 0.9772. Therefore, the probability of a player weighing less than 250 pounds is 0.9772.
