A large corporation sponsors bowling leagues for its employees. The mean score for men was 154 pins with a standard deviation of 8 pins, while the women had mean score 131 pins and standard deviation 15 pins. The scores of men and women are thought to be independent. At the end of the season the league holds a tournament that randomly pairs men and women as opponents in the first round. Required:
1. If the distribution of differences in bowling scores is approximately normal, what is the probability that the man scores more points than the woman?

a. 0.888
b. 0.987
c. 0.912
d. 0.652

2. In statistics, an event is considered "unlikely" if the probability of it occurring is less than five percent. Based on your answer to part (a), would we consider the event of a man scoring more points than a woman a statistically "unlikely" event? Explain.

a. Yes, this is statistically unlikely, since the probability calculated in (C) is less than 5%.
b. Yes, this is statistically unlikely, since the probability calculated in (C) is greater than 5%.
c. No, this is NOT statistically unlikely, since the probability calculated in (C) is greater than 5%.
d. No, this is NOT statistically unlikely, since the probability calculated in (C) is less than 5%.

The table below represents the displacement of a fish from its reef as a function of time: time (hours) x displacement from reef (feet) y 0 4 1 64 2 124 3 184 4 244 part a: what is the y-intercept of the function, and what does this tell you about the fish? (4 points) part b: calculate the average rate of change of the function represented by the table between x = 1 to x = 3 hours, and tell what the average rate represents. (4 points) part c: what would be the domain of the function if the fish continued to swim at this rate until it traveled 724 feet from the reef? (2 points)
