Answer:

$\frac{-27}{40}$

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to write in correct form :

$\frac{-3}{8}:\frac{5}{9}$

We know how to divide fractions. If we can divide numerator by numerator, denominator by denominator, we just do it. In this example we can not do that.

So, we rewrite first fraction and multiply by reciprocal second ( numerator and denominator change place)

$\frac{-3}{8} *\frac{9}{5}$

Now, multiply numerator by numerator, denominator by denominator :

$\frac{-27}{40}$

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be the random variable that represents a score of Susan. We know that X has a normal distribution with average score of 225 and a standard deviation of 13. For n = 16 games, the average score $\bar{X}$ has a normal distribution with mean of 225 and a standard deviation of $13/\sqrt{16}=13/4=3.25$ . Besides, the z-score related to 220 is (220-225)/3.25=-1.5385, and the z-score related to 228 is (228-225)/3.25= 0.9231. Therefore, we are looking the probability $P(220 < \bar{X} < 228) = P(-1.5385 < Z < 0.9231) = P(Z < 0.9231) - P(Z < -1.5385)$ = 0.76
