Six football players, all defensive linemen, decide that they'll gain an average of 10 pounds over the summer. At the start of t
1 answer:
Answer: b. 14 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
Formula to calculate average :
Let x denotes the number of pounds the last person have to gain so that the group can attain its goal.
Required average = 10 pounds
Observations = 9, 13, 11, 6, 7 and x (pounds)
Number of observations= 6
Sum of all observations = 9+13+ 11+ 6+7+x=46+x
According to the question , we have
i..e the last person has to gain 14 pounds so that the group can attain its goal.
Hence, the correct answer is b. 14 pounds .

Part a is correct.
Part b can be done a couple ways.
1) Use binomial distribution. p = 0.2, n = 144
P(x>3) = 1 - P(x=0) -p(x=1) -p(x=2) -p(x=3)
where
2) Assume a normal distribution with mean = 28.2, stdev = 4.8
Look up z-value in normal table to find probability.
