Suppose the winning times follow a normal distribution with a winning time of 148.66 seconds and a standard deviation of 1.59 seconds. Pretend you are going to bet on the race by picking 10 winning times:
a) Why would vou not pick 10 times evenly spaced from 144.0 to 154.0 seconds?
b) Between which two times would you choose 6 or 7 of your times?
