Suppose that the middle 95% of average scores in the NBA per player per game fall between 8.18 and 31.34. Give an approximate estimate of the standard deviation of the number of the points scored. Assume the points scored has a normal distribution.

An approximate estimate of the standard deviation of the number of the points scored per game is of 5.79.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Empirical Rule states that, for a normally distributed random variable:

Approximately 68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.

Approximately 95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviations of the mean.

Approximately 99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

Suppose that the middle 95% of average scores in the NBA per player per game fall between 8.18 and 31.34.

This means that there is 4 standard deviations within this interval. So

An approximate estimate of the standard deviation of the number of the points scored per game is of 5.79.

"image"

step-by-step explanation:

in most of these problems, the notation is that the point with a "prime" is the image of the point without. that is, b' is the image of b.

here, there is no dilation or reflection. there is simply translation (with no direction shown). which figure you call the "preimage" and which one you call the "image" is up to you. as a matter of convention, the naming is as described above.
