Answer:

D. 30

Step-by-step explanation:

Having a population that doesn't follow normal distribution (skewed) can still have sampling distribution that is completely normal. This fact is presented in the Central Limit Theorem.

Central Limit Theorem: states that we can have a normal distribution of sample means even if the original population doesn't follow normal distribution, we just need to take a large sample.

So how much sample size do we need?

There is no straight forward answer to this rather we have to analyse the situation closely!

1. If the population distribution is already normal then a smaller sample size would be enough to ensure normal distribution.

2. If the population distribution is very skewed than a larger number of sample size is needed to ensure normal distribution. The rule of thumb is to take sample size equal to or more than 30 to be on safer side. This is the case in this problem hence option D fits the best.

Answer:

384 inches²

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface area of a cube is found by using 6a².

6 = the number of sides in a cube

a = the given dimension (in this case, 8 inches long)

SA = (6)8²

SA = 6(64)

SA = 384

City records showed that 0.8% of new homes had no
storchak [24]

Answer:

The decimal would be 0.008.

If you wanted a fraction in simplest form, it would be 1/125.

Step-by-step explanation:

0.8% divided by 100 (move the decimal in the percent two places to the left) = 0.008

0.008 as a fraction is 8/1000, and then you divide both numbers by their GCF of 8, which will give you a fraction in simplest form of 1/125.

I hope this helps!
