Question
The Iowa Wolves is scheduled to play against the Maine Red Claws in an upcoming game in the National Basketball Association (NBA) G League. Because a player in the NBA G League is still developing their skills, the number of points a player scores in a game can vary substantially. Assume that each player's point production can be represented as an integer uniform random variable with the ranges provided in the following table.
Player | Iowa Wolves | Maine Red Claws |
---|---|---|
1 | [5, 20] | [6, 12] |
2 | [7, 20] | [15, 20] |
3 | [5, 10] | [10, 20] |
4 | [10, 40] | [15, 30] |
5 | [7, 20] | [6, 10] |
6 | [2, 10] | [1, 20] |
7 | [2, 5] | [1, 4] |
8 | [2, 4] | [2, 4] |
(a)
Develop a model that simulates the points scored by each team and the difference in their point totals.

(b)
What are the average and standard deviation of points scored by the Iowa Wolves? (Use at least 1,000 trials. Round your answers to two decimal places.)

(e)
What is the probability that the Iowa Wolves scores more points than the Maine Red Claws? (Round your answer to three decimal places.)
(f)
The coach of the Iowa Wolves feels that they are the underdog and is considering a riskier game strategy. The effect of this strategy is that the range of each Wolves player's point production increases symmetrically so that the new range is [0, original upper bound + original lower bound]. For example, Wolves player 1's range with the risky strategy is [0, 25]. How does the new strategy affect the average and standard deviation of the Wolves point total? (Use at least 1,000 trials. Round your answers to two decimal places.)

How does that affect the probability of the Iowa Wolves scoring more points than the Maine Red Claws? (Round your answer to three decimal places.)

A new study has been made to see whether this has changed. Records of 225 individuals from argentina who died recently are selected at random. The 225 individuals lived an average of 77.4 years with a standard deviation of 6.7 years. Records of 300 individuals from Ireland who died recently are selected at random and independently. The 300 individuals lived a mean of 76.5 years with a standard deviation of 5.3 years.

He normally stops 87% of the shots that come his way. In one particularly bad game, he let five of the 15 shots into the goal. He decides to cheer himself up by convincing himself that this game would be unusual for a goalie who stops 87% of the shots. He uses the table of random digits below using the rule that he will read across the row, two digits at a time, with 01–87 indicating a stop and 88–99 and 00 indicating a goal, until 15 attempts are recorded. 61373 70629 96541 81508 28214 06485 Which of the following statements about this random number table best describes the simulation?
