Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

By looking at the exponent you can immediately tell the function is an exponential one. However, to further determine if it's positive or negative you need to look at the base of the exponent. If the base is above 1 the function is positive, while on the other hand if it is smaller than 1 it is negative. In this case the base is 1/3 which is equal to .33, so this function is an exponential decay.

Answer:

20.27

Step-by-step explanation:

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sample means with size n of at least 30 can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$
