h and k are just arbitrarily choosen names for these functions, and (x) is the variable we do all the calculations with
example: (x) can be some function, while d(x)= 2*f(x) always doubles what f(x) would give you. and in order to talk about the new function we give it a new name.
----------------------
let's have a look into it.
and with a look, I mean a look (screenshot 1)
k(x) basically takes the other equation, doubles its values, but also flips the sign (hence -2*h(x)), and then adds 3 (shifting everything 3 units up)
k(x) is a <em><u>vertical stretch</u></em> [note thatthe zero-pounts stay the same] by a factor of <em><u>-2</u></em>, <em><u>translated up</u></em> [you typed translated right twice, but the +3 in the new equation is safely putting everything 3 units higher].
to be honest, I can't get the meaning of some of the blanks and the options you mentioned don't seem to fit well.
I hope I gave you enough insight to do do the quiz anyways.
pls let me no if you solved it or if you need further explanations.

Answer:
The value of the parameter is λ is 0.03692
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider the provided function.
for −∞ < x < ∞.
It is given that standard deviation is given as 38.3 km.
Now we need to calculate the value of parameter λ.
The general formula for the probability density function of the double exponential distribution is: 
Where μ is the location parameter and β is the scale parameter.
Compare the provided equation with the above formula we get.
and μ = 0.
Standard deviation = √2β
Now substitute the value of β in .
Hence, the value of the parameter is λ is 0.03692
Answer:
The value of the parameter of interest in this setting is:
d. The value of the parameter of interest cannot be determined from the given information.
Step-by-step explanation:
To determine the parameter of interest in this setting, we need information about the population figure of the small-to-medium-sized streams in eastern North Carolina. We also require the population proportion of these streams, which have runoff from hog farms. But in this situation, the information is lacking. Instead, we are given information about the sample, which only produces statistics. For example, we can calculate the average (mean) proportion of the sample of 242 small-to-medium-sized streams using the 55 that were found to have runoff from hog farms.
