Explanation / Answer

Solution:- Given that values 80,79,77,77,76,76,75,75,75,75,74,74,74,74,74,74,74,74,73,73,73,73,73,72,72,71,71,71,71,71,71,70,70,70, 70, 70,70,69,69,69,69,68,68,68,67,67,67,67,67,66,65,65,65,65,65,64,62,62,62,61

a. The population mean is 70.5

= > ? = 70.5

standard deviation is 4.4

=>  ? = 4.4

b. the probability that a sample mean of 40 players will be less than 69.5 in : 0.0749
P(X < 69.5) = P(Z < (X - ?)/(?/sqrt(n)))
= P(z < (69.5 - 70.5)/(4.4/sqrt(40))
= P(Z < -1.4374)
= 0.0749
c. The probability that a sample mean of 40 players will be more than 71 in :
P(X > 71) = P(Z > (71 - 70.5)/(4.4/sqrt(40))
= P(Z > 0.7187)
= 0.2358

d. The probability that sample mean of 40 players will be between 70 and 71.5
P(70 < X < 71.5) = P((70 - 70.5)/(4.4/sqrt(40) < Z < (71.5 - 70.5)/(4.4/sqrt(40))
= P(-0.7187 < Z < 1.4374)
= 0.6893
