Ana is a dedicated Skee Ballplayer (see photo) who always rolls for the 50-point slot. The probability distribution of Ana's score Xon a single roll of the ball is shown below. You can check that X=23.8and X=12.63.

(a) A player receives one ticket from the game for every 10points scored. Make a graph of the probability distribution for the random variable T=number of tickets Ana gets on a randomly selected throw. Describe its shape.

(b) Find and interpret T.

(c) Compute and interpret T.

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The distribution is right-skewed because the highest bar is to the left and the tail of smaller bars is to the right.

(b)The number of tickets is on average T=2.38.

(c) T=1.263

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) Step 1: Given Information 

The number of tickets is the number of points scored divided by10

T=110X

The probabilities for Tare the same as the probabilities for X.

02

Part (a) Step 2: Explanation 

Create a probability histogram

The width of the bars has to be equal and the height has to be equal to probability.

03

Part (b) Step 1: Given Information 

Given

X=23.8

X=12.63

04

Part (b) Step 2: Explanation 

The number of tickets is the number of points scored divided by10

T=110X

The probabilities for Tare the same as the probabilities for X.

Properties mean and standard deviation:

aX+b=aX+b

aX+b=aX

Then we obtain for T=110X:

localid="1649909964609" T=1/10*X=110X=110(23.8)=2.38.

05

Part (c) Step 1: Given Information 

Given

X=23.8

X=12.63

06

Part (c) Step 2: Explanation 

The number of tickets is the number of points scored divided by10

T=110X

The probabilities for Tare the same as the probabilities for X.

Properties mean and standard deviation:

aX+b=aX+b

aX+b=aX

Then we obtain for T=110X:

localid="1649910001357" T=1/10*X=110X=110(23.8)=2.38

localid="1649910014351" T=1/10*X=110X=110(12.63)=1.263

The number of tickets varies, on average, about 1.263ticket about the mean of 2.38tickets.
