Complete Question

When the Olympic Games were held outside Mexico City in 1968, there was much discussion about the effect the high altitude (7340 feet) would have on the athletes. Assuming air pressure decays exponentially by 0.5% every 100 feet, by what percentage is air pressure reduced by moving from sea level to Mexico City?

Round your answer to one decimal place.    

....... %

Answer:

The value is  x = 73.4\%

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  height of Mexico city is  h =  7340 feet

   The rate at which air pressure decays is  0.5% per 100 feet  

From the data given

    0.5 \%  \to 100 \ feet \\x\% \to  7340

=>  x = \frac{7340}{100}

=>    x = 73.4\%

Is the confidence interval affected by the fact that the data appear to be from a population that is not normally​ distributed?
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

D. No, because the sample size is large enough.

Step-by-step explanation:

The central limit theorem states that "if we have a population with mean μ and standard deviation σ and take sufficiently large random samples from the population with replacement, then the distribution of the sample means will be approximately normally distributed. This will hold true regardless of whether the source population is normal or skewed, provided the sample size is sufficiently large".

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

If the sample size is higher than 30, on this case the answer would be:

D. No, because the sample size is large enough.

And the reason is given by The Central Limit Theorem since states if the individual distribution is normal then the sampling distribution for the sample mean is also normal.

From the central limit theorem we know that the distribution for the sample mean \bar X is given by:

\bar X \sim N(\mu, \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})

If the sample size it's not large enough n<30, on that case the distribution would be not normal.

A common tangent is a line that happens to be tangent ("touching but not intersecting a curve or curved surface") to two different coplanar ("in the same plane) circles. I do hope that helped you.
