The Iowa Energy are 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 his skills, the number of points he 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	lowa 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]

(e)

The coach of the Iowa Energy feels that they are the underdog and is considering a riskier game strategy. The effect of this strategy is that the range of each Energy player's point 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]. How does the new strategy affect the average and standard deviation of the Energy point total? How does that affect the probability of the Iowa Energy scoring more points than the Maine Red Claws?
