Answer:

(a) The Chicago Cubs broke the Curse of the Billy Goat by winning the World Series in 2016. Find and interpret the z-score for the Chicago Cubs, who had 103 wins in 2016.

Z score = 2.05607

Interpreting the z score, since the z score is positive, this means, the data point is to the right of the mean.

(b) The Chicago White Sox had a z-score of 20.28. Find the number of wins for the Chicago White Sox for 2016.

= 298 wins

Step-by-step explanation:

In 2016, the mean number of wins for teams in Major League Baseball was 81 wins with a standard deviation of 10.7 wins.

(a) The Chicago Cubs broke the Curse of the Billy Goat by winning the World Series in 2016. Find and interpret the z-score for the Chicago Cubs, who had 103 wins in 2016.

The formula for calculating a z-score is is z = (x-μ)/σ,

where x is the raw score

μ is the population mean

σ is the population standard deviation.

x = 103 wins, μ = 81 wins, σ = 10.7

z = 103 - 81/10.7

z = 2.05607

Interpreting the z score, since the z score is positive, this means, the data point is to the right of the mean.

(b) The Chicago White Sox had a z-score of 20.28. Find the number of wins for the Chicago White Sox for 2016.

The formula for calculating a z-score is is z = (x-μ)/σ,

where x is the raw score

μ is the population mean

σ is the population standard deviation.

From the above question, we are asked to find the number of wins, this means we should find the raw score = x

z = 20.28, x = ? μ = 81 , σ = 10.7

Hence,

20.28 = x - 81/10.7

Cross Multiply

20.28 × 10.7 = x - 81

216.996 = x - 81

x = 216.996 + 81

x = 297.996

x is approximately 298 wins

Therefore, the number of wins for the Chicago White Sox for 2016 is approximately 298 wins

Please help me with this question:)
tester [92]

Answer:

Ada is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems with Naman:

Naman is supposed to follow PEMDAS, which is the order of operations, and stands for:

Parenthesis

Exponents (& Roots)

Multiplications

Division

Addition

Subtraction

~

The mistake: Naman moved +6 to the left and added it to the 2 located on the left side of the expression. You cannot do that, as it breaks the law of PEMDAS. On the other hand, Ada did the correct thing, which was to distribute 2 to all terms within the parenthesis (as one term in the parenthesis has a variable, and the other is a constant, meaning that they cannot be combined). This leads to Naman not doing the rest of the question correct.

Next, Ada correctly combined the two constants, which resulted in 0. 0 means nothing, therefore the placeholder is not needed. Therefore, 8x is the final answer.
