At the 2012 summer olympic games in london, in the men's shot put qualifying round, the distances ranged from 17. 58 meters to 21. 36 meters with a mean distance of 19. 64 meters and a standard deviation equal to 0. 92 meters. If the distribution were truly a normal distribution, what percent of the athletes would have had a distance greater than 20. 56 meters, one standard deviation above the mean? there were 40 athletes in the competition. How many athletes does that represent?.
