Answer:

0.0228 = 2.28% probability that the average score of the 64 golfers exceeded 76.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}.

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 75, \sigma = 4, n = 64, s = \frac{4}{\sqrt{64}} = 0.5

Find the probability that the average score of the 64 golfers exceeded 76.

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 64.

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

By the Central Limit Theorem

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}

Z = \frac{76 - 75}{0.5}

Z = 2

Z = 2 has a pvalue of 0.9772

1 - 0.9772 = 0.0228

0.0228 = 2.28% probability that the average score of the 64 golfers exceeded 76.

you can just keep multiplying the top and the bottom by the same number to get an equivalent fraction

im sorry if i understood the question wrong, i hope this helped a little bit

HELP!!!!
Nonamiya [84]
Your answer is E. $25.

First let under 12 = u, over 12 = o, and adults = a.
We can now write the equations:

2u + 3a + 3o = 174
4u + 2a = 122
a + o = 46

Because we know that a + o = 46, and 3a + 3o is in the first equation, we can multiply 46 by 3 to get what 3a + 3o equals. This makes 138.
Now we can substitute 138 into the first equation to get 2u + 138 = 174
2u = 36
u = 18

Now that we know what u equals, we can substitute it in to the second equation to get:
4(18) + 2a = 122
72 + 2a = 122
2a = 50
a = $25

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions :)
