Your co-worker, Amanda, and you are reliving your high school athletic "glory days" during a coffee break. She played basketball

and you played baseball. Amanda scored 16 points per game and you had a .325 batting average. You are trying to see who had the better athletic career (statistically speaking), but you can’t compare basketball stats to baseball stats. Use z-scores to convert her points per game average and your batting average. What are the scores and who had the better athletic career? Assume that the mean points per game for basketball players during Amanda’s career was 15 points per game with a standard deviation of 4. Also, the batting average for baseball players during your high school career was 310 (i.e., .310) with a standard deviation of 25.

Answer:

Our score = 0.60, Amanda's score = 0.25

Step-by-step explanation:

For Amanda

μ = 15 , σ = 4

z- score for X = 16 is (From z table)

z = (X - μ)/σ = (16 - 15)/4 = 0.25

For us

μ = 310 , σ = 25

z score for X = 325 (From z table)

z = (325-310)/25 = 0.60

Since our z score is better than Amanda's z score, we can say we did better

there are 24 marbles in a bag: 2/16 of the marbles are red, 1/8 of the marbles are blue, 1/4 of the marbles are yellow, 1/3 of t
Roman55 [17]

Answer: 3 red marbles, 3 blue marbles, 6 yellow marbles, 8 black marbles, 4 silver marbles

Step-by-step explanation:

I know these are the correct number of marbles because I set up these numbers as fractions and solved for x.

For examples, 2/16 of the marbles are red. 2/16=x/24

You would do this because we are trying to find the number of marbles that are red out of the 24 marbles.

Next, we would do 24 divided by 16= 1.5 Then 1.5 times 2=3

You would follow this rule for each fraction of marbles in order to find the true number of marbles out of 24.
