Problem 12-09
The Iowa Energy are scheduled to play against the Maine RedClaws in an upcoming game in the National Basketball AssociationDevelopmental League (NBA-DL). Because a player in the NBA-DL isstill developing his skills, the number of points he scores in agame can vary dramatically. Assume that each player's pointproduction can be represented as an integer uniform variable withthe ranges provided in the table below.
| Player | Iowa Energy | Maine Red Claws |
| 1 | [5, 20] | [7, 12] |
| 2 | [7, 20] | [15, 20] |
| 3 | [5, 10] | [10, 20] |
| 4 | [10, 40] | [15, 30] |
| 5 | [6, 20] | [5, 10] |
| 6 | [3, 10] | [1, 20] |
| 7 | [2, 5] | [1, 4] |
| 8 | [2, 4] | [2, 4] |

- What is the probability of that the Iowa Energy scores morepoints than the Maine Red Claws? If required, round your answer tothree decimal places.
- The coach of the Iowa Energy feels that they are the underdogand is considering a "riskier" game strategy. The effect of theriskier game strategy is that the range of each Energy player'spoint production increases symmetrically so that the new range is[0, original upper bound + original lower bound]. For example,Energy player 1's range with the risky strategy is [0, 25]. Howdoes the new strategy affect the average and standard deviation ofthe Energy point total? Round your answer to one decimalplace.
Average =
Standard Deviation =
