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

5 1/2 <br> -<br> 3 3/4<br> ______
eimsori [14]
So first you want to convert both to have the same denominator.

5 1/2 - 3 3/4

To:

5 2/4 - 3 3/4

Now, to make it easier for me, I would convert both to an improper fraction.

5 2/4 -> 22/4

3 3/4 -> 15/4

So now you can just do,

22/4 - 15/4,

which is just 7/4.

This in mixed number form is 1 3/4.

Answer the two questions below
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

3: No

4: 25

Step-by-step explanation:

3: It won't because not everyone is the same height and there will be variation in the mean height.

4: A larger sample size will give a more accurate representation of the population, where as a sample size of 5 is much more likely to have a higher percentage of outliers, and each outlier matters much more in finding the mean. In a sample size of 25, each outlier matters much less.

Please Help!!!!!<br><br> Which method can you use to prove these triangles congruent?
Trava [24]

Answer: The HL Theorem.

Step-by-step explanation: We are given that the triangles have a congruent 90 degree angle and two congruent sides. This would indicate towards SAS but in this case, that doesn't work because the angle is not in between the two congruent sides. We know that the triangles are right, and that their hypotenuses are congruent and that one leg is congruent. Thus, the answer must be HL (hypotenuse & leg).
