Organizers of a fishing tournament believe that the lake holds a sizable population of largemouth bass. They assume that the weights of these fish have a model that is skewed to the right with a mean of 3.5 pounds and a standard deviation of 2.2 pounds.

a) Explain why a skewed model makes sense here.

b) Explain why you cannot determine the probability that a largemouth bass randomly selected ( caught ) from the lake weighs over 3 pounds.

c) Each fisherman in the contest catches 5 fish each day. Can you determine the probability that someone s catch averages over 3 pounds? Explain.

d) The 12 fishermen competing each caught the limit of 5 fish. What's the probability that the total catch of 60 fish averaged more than 3 pounds?
