<h2>C. 187</h2>Step-by-step explanation:
Givens
- The sample is formed by 187 bowlers.
- The population is formed by 999 bowlers.
If represents a mean, it would be a sample mean.
When we develop statistics studies, we define a sample, which represents a sub-group of the population. All statistics analysis are applied to the sample, because it's easier to deal with. So, to develop a correct analysis, the sample has to represent the population, it has to be large enough to generalise its results.
That's why the mean would represent the sample 187.

When an answer to a question uses the greater than symbol, that means any number above the number used is a possible answer to the equation. However, when it's just a simple "x = 2", then 2 is the only possible answer to that equation. Think about it as if it were on a graph. In the attached file I have a graph that is displaying the equation "x > 4". The entire shaded area to the right of 4 could be a possible answer.
Hope this helps.
