Gail averages 153 points per bowling game with a standard deviation of 14.5 points.
Suppose Gail's points per bowling game are normally distributed. Let X= the number of
points per bowling game. Then X∼N(153,14.5).

If necessary, round to three decimal places.

Suppose Gail scores 108 points in the game on Thursday. The z-score when x =

108 is −3.103. The mean is153.

This z-score tells you that x = 108 1 standard deviations to the left of the mean.

A random sample of math majors taking an introductory statistics course were surveyed
after completing the final exam. They were asked, “How many times did you review your
final exam before handing it in to the professor?” The results are displayed in a
probability density function for the random variable X, the number of times students
reviewed their exam before handing it in. Find the standard deviation of X.

 Round the final answer to two decimal places.

Alice was told that her reading test score was 1 standard deviation below the mean. If test
scores were approximately normal with μ=86 and σ=4, what was Alice's score? Do not
include units in your answer. For example, if you found that the score was 86 points, you would
enter 86.

Identify the parameter p in the following binomial distribution scenario. The probability of buying
a movie ticket with a popcorn coupon is 0.711 and without a popcorn coupon is 0.289. If you
buy 21 movie tickets, we want to know the probability that more than 14 of the tickets have
popcorn coupons. (Consider tickets with popcorn coupons as successes in the binomial
distribution.)
