Answer:

b) far above average

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Distribution

mean      μ₀  = 76

Standard Deviation   σ = 6

Values in Normal Distribution spread according to:

μ₀  +   σ    =  67.3 %

μ₀  +  2*σ =   95.5 %

μ₀  +  3*σ =   99.7 %

Is relevant to explain that these values spread simmetrically, having as symmetry axis the mean (That is: when we see  μ₀  +  2*σ,  that means that from  μ₀, we will find half of values under the mean and the other half above)

To examine the value 89, scored in the last game we will look for our paticular case values obtained from previuos conditions

That implies:

μ₀  +   σ    = 76 ± 0,5σ     =  76  ± 3      upper limit 79

μ₀  + 2σ    = 76  ±    σ       = 76  ± 6      upper lmit   82

μ₀  + 3σ    = 76  ±   1.5 σ   = 76 ± 9      upper limit  85

We should expect most of the values between the above intervals, the value " 89 " is bigger than 85, the point limit of the 99.7 % of all values, so we should conclude that 89 is far above average ( μ₀ )

Lelu [443]

Answer:

0.9 miles per member

Step-by-step explanation:

Total distance = 9 miles

Number of members = 10

If they are to carry the food back for an equal distance, we have to fin

Distance covered by a person with the food pack = Total distance / Number of members

Distance covered by a person with the food pack = 9 / 10 = 0.9 miles per member
