Answer: A) 21.25 ≤ x ≤ 22.75
Explanation:
Given, Average weight of basketballs = 22 ounces
It is possible for its weight to vary at most 0.75 ounces from this average.
Let x denotes the weight of the basket ball.
Then, the required range for a basketball's weight:
Average-0.75 ≤ x ≤ Average+0.75
⇒22-0.75 ≤ x ≤ 22+0.75
⇒21.25 ≤ x ≤ 22.75
Hence, the range for a basketball's weight: 21.25 ≤ x ≤ 22.75 .
Correct option: A) 21.25 ≤ x ≤ 22.75
