<h3>Answer: Choice B</h3>

Matthew will score less than 27 points in about 0.15% of his basketball games.

=======================================================

Explanation:

mu = 33 = population mean

sigma = 2 = population standard deviation

Let's find the z score when x = 27

z = (x - mu)/sigma

z = (27-33)/2

z = -6/2

z = -3

A score of 27 points is exactly three standard deviation units below the mean of 33 points.

Now refer to the Empirical Rule chart shown below. Notice that roughly 99.7% of the entire population is within 3 standard deviations of the mean. This is the span from z = -3 to z = 3.

That leaves about 100% - 99.7% = 0.3% left over for the two tails combined.

One tail has about (0.3%)/2 = 0.15% of the total area, and therefor about 0.15% of the total games will have Matthew scoring less than 27 points. This is an estimate of course.

To get a more accurate answer, you can use a Z table to find that

P(Z < -3) \approx 0.00135 \approx 0.135\%

which isn't too far off from the 0.15%

Solve for x and y pls​
Paraphin [41]
X is a 90 degree angle so x equals half of 90 which is 45
X= 45
Since x is 45 the other angle on the other side is 45
Every triangle equals 180 so you take 45+45 to get 90 and subtract that from 180 and get 90
Y= 90
