Skee Ball Ana is a dedicated Skee Ball player (see photo) who always rolls for the 50- point slot. The probability distribution of Ana鈥檚 score X on a randomly selected roll of the ball is shown here.

Part (a). Find Interpret this result.
Part (b). Express the event 鈥淎nna scores at most 20鈥 in terms of X. What is the probability of this event?

Victoria parks her car at the same garage every time she goes to work. Because she stays at work for different lengths of time each day, the fee the parking garage charges on a randomly selected day is a random variable, . The table gives the probability distribution of You can check that and .

In addition to the garage鈥檚 fee, the city charges a use tax each time Victoria parks her car. Let the total amount of money she pays on a randomly selected day.
a. Make a graph of the probability distribution of . Describe its shape.
b. Find and interpret .
c. Calculate and interpret .
In debt? Refer to Exercise 100.
a. Justify why D can be approximated by a normal distribution.
b. Use a normal distribution to estimate the probability that or more adults in the sample have more debt than savings.
Skee Ball Refer to Exercise 4. Find the mean of X. Interpret this value.

Skee BallAna is a dedicated Skee Ball player (see photo in Exercise 4) who always rolls for the 50-point slot. The probability distribution of Ana鈥檚 score Xon a randomly selected roll of the ball is shown here. From Exercise 8, .

(a) Find the median of X.
(b) Compare the mean and median. Explain why this relationship makes sense based on the probability distribution.
