Question

When bowling, Bennett averages 136 points a game with a standard deviation of 22 points. Suppose Bennett's points per game are normally distributed. Let x = the number of points per game. Then x ∼ N(136,22). Correctly fill in the blanks of the statement below.

a. N(136, 22)
b. N(22, 136)
c. N(158, 22)
d. N(136, 44)

Answer 1

The correct statement is N(136, 22).

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement should be correctly filled in as N(136, 22).

This represents a normal distribution with a mean of 136 and a standard deviation of 22. The mean represents the average number of points Bennett scores per game, and the standard deviation represents the variability of his scores around the mean.

Therefore, the correct option is a. N(136, 22).
