The weights of players in a sports league are normally distributed with a mean of \(76.6\) kg, (correct to three significant figures). It is known that \(80 \%\) of the players have weights between \(68\) kg and \(82\) kg. The probability that a player weighs less than \(68\) kg is \(0.05\).
Find the probability that a player weighs more than \(82\) kg.
[2]Write down the standardized value, \(z\), for \(68\) kg.
[4]Hence, find the standard deviation of weights. To take part in a tournament, a player’s weight must be within \(1.5\) standard deviations of the mean.
Find the set of all possible weights of players that take part in the tournament.
[5]A player is selected at random. Find the probability that the player takes part in the tournament. Of the players in the league, \(25 \%\) are women. Of the women, \(70 \%\) take part in the tournament.
