Step-by-step explanation:
Previous concepts
Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".
The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".
Let X the random variable that represent points in a game of bowling of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:
Where and
We know that the value for Renee is X=175 and the z score obteined was Z=2.
Solution to the problem
And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:
We are interested on the value of and we can solv for it:
And replacing the values we have:
Imagine right triangle PHF, where P - park, H - home and F - football field, then PH, PF are legs and HF is hypotenuse . Denote point L to be library. You know that point L lies on the segment FH and FL=8, LH=2. Also you know that PL is an altitude to the hypotenuse.
Use the property of altitude drawn from the vertex of right angle to the hypotenuse (the length of the altitude is geometrical mean between legs' projections onto hypotenuse):
mi.
This means that the distance between park and libriry is 4 miles.
Consider right triangle PLF ( angle L is right angle and PF - hypotenuse). By the Pythagorean theorem,
mi. The distance between park and football field is
miles.
Answer: the distance between park and libriry is 4 miles and the distance between park and football field is miles.
