- Suppose that the New England Colonial baseball team has a very high chance of not winning a particular game. Also, suppose you pick a random sample of 30 colony games. Answer the following. (a) Estimate the number of games in the sample that the Colonials win by giving the mean of the relevant distribution (that is, the expectation of the relevant random variable). Do not round your response. (b) Quantify the uncertainty of your estimate by giving the standard deviation of the distribution. Round your response to at least three decimal places.arrow_forwardThe time taken by employees at Grace Floral shop to put a bouquet together has a normal distribution with mean 26.4 minutes and standard deviation .8 minutes.
