Let X = the average of the 49 races.
Part (a)
Give the distribution of X. (Round your standard deviation to two decimal places.)X ~ ( , )
Part (b)
Find the probability that the average of the sample will be between 139 and 142 minutes in these 49 marathons. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
Part (c)
