Answer:

\mu = 20.3

\sigma = 4.9

And we can find the limits in order to consider values as significantly low and high like this:

Low\leq \mu -2 \sigma= 20.3- 2*4.9 = 10.5

High\geq \mu +2 \sigma= 20.3+ 2*4.9 = 30.1

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

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".

Solution to the problem

For this case we can consider a value to be significantly low if we have that the z  score is lower or equal to - 2 and we can consider a value to be significantly high if its z score is  higher tor equal to 2.

For this case we have the mean and the deviation given:

\mu = 20.3

\sigma = 4.9

And we can find the limits in order to consider values as significantly low and high like this:

Low \leq \mu -2 \sigma= 20.3- 2*4.9 = 10.5

High\geq \mu +2 \sigma= 20.3+ 2*4.9 = 30.1

  C.  On average, each 1 million dollar increase in salary was associated with an 8.42 point increase in winning percentage

Step-by-step explanation:

Apparently, winning percentage is plotted on the vertical axis, so the slope represents the ratio of winning percentage to salary in millions.

Then an increase in salary by 1 million is expected to be associated with an increase of 8.42 points in winning percentage.
