When Amira goes bowling, her scores are normally distributed with a mean of 160
and a standard deviation of 13. What percentage of the games that Amira bowls does
she score less than 192, to the nearest tenth?

Respuesta :

Using the normal distribution, it is found that she scores less than 192 in 99.3% of games.

Normal Probability Distribution

In a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

  • It measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean.
  • After finding the z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score, which is the percentile of X.

In this problem, the mean and the standard deviation are given, respectively, by [tex]\mu = 160, \sigma = 13[/tex].

The proportion of games in which she scores less than 192 is the p-value of Z when X = 192, hence:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{192 - 160}{13}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 2.46[/tex]

[tex]Z = 2.46[/tex] has a p-value of 0.993.

Hence, she scores less than 192 in 99.3% of games.
