If you use the reversers, your stopping distance will be much less than that (calculated).
On a slippery runway yes. On a dry runway there is very little difference between stopping distance with full brakes and full brakes with reverse. Of course it perhaps depends on the aircraft type but in the 737 the difference on a dry runway is only 170 feet with one reverser operative and 180 feet with both thrust reversers operating.
