Rosetta averages 148 points per bowling game with a standard deviation of 14 points. Suppose Rosetta's points perbowling game are normally distributed. Let X = the number of points per bowling game. Then X ~ N(148, 14).If necessary, round to three decimal places.

The z-score is given by the following equation:


z=(x-\mu)/(\sigma)

Where:


\begin{gathered} x=\text{observed value} \\ \mu=\operatorname{mean} \\ \sigma=s\tan adard\text{ deviation} \end{gathered}

Replacing the values for x = 110:


z=(110-148)/(14)

Solving the operations:


z=-2.71

This means that x = 110 is -2.71 standard deviations to the left of the mean. The mean is given as 148.
