Lexie averages 149 points per bowling game with a standard deviation of 14 points. Suppose Lexie's points per bowling game are normally distributed. Let X= the number of points per bowling game. Then X ~ N(149,14).
If necessary, round to three decimal places.
Provide your answer below:
Suppose Lexie scores 186 points in the game on Tuesday. The z-score when x=186 is . The mean is .
This z-score tells you that x=186 is standard deviations to the right of the mean.

Lexie averages 149 points per bowling game with a standard deviation of 14 points. Suppose Lexie's points per bowling game are normally distributed. Let $X=$ the number of points per bowling game. Then $X \sim N(149,14)$.
If necessary, round to three decimal places.
Provide your answer below:
Suppose Lexie scores 186 points in the game on Tuesday. The $z$-score when $x=186$ is $\square$ . The mean is $\square$ .
This $z$-score tells you that $x=186$ is $\square$ standard deviations to the right of the mean.

Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Calculate the Z-Score
To find the z-score for Lexie's score of \( x = 186 \), we use the formula:
The calculated z-score indicates how many standard deviations the score of \( x = 186 \) is from the mean. Since \( z \approx 2.643 \), we conclude that:
\[
x = 186 \text{ is approximately } 2.643 \text{ standard deviations to the right of the mean.}
\]
Final Answer
The z-score when \( x = 186 \) is \( 2.643 \). The mean is \( 149 \). This z-score tells you that \( x = 186 \) is \( 2.643 \) standard deviations to the right of the mean.
