Explanation Given: The gambler in a Las Vegas lost $ 200 , won $ 100 and lost $ 50 . Approach: The lost amount are considered as negative and the won amounts are considered positive. So, the total net worth is calculated by operating on these integers. Calculation: Total amount he won is $ 100 Amount he lost is − $ 200 − $ 50 To determine (b) To find: The total at the end of five turns if his successive scores in five turns are 17 , − 8 , − 9 , 14 and 45 .

Please help me organize the proof of the following theorem:

The population mean and standard deviation are given below. Find the required probability and determine whether the given sample mean would be considered unusual. For a sample of n = 65, find the probability of a sample mean being greater than 225 if μ = 224 and σ = 3.5. For a sample of n = 65, the probability of a sample mean being greater than 225 if μ=224 and σ = 3.5 is 0.0102 (Round to four decimal places as needed.)
