Answer:

The correct option is (a).

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Central Limit Theorem if we have a population with mean μ and standard deviation σ and take appropriately huge random-samples (n > 30) from the population with replacement, then the distribution of the sample- means will be approximately normally-distributed.

Then, the mean of the sample means is given by,

\mu_{\bar x}=\mu

And the standard deviation of the sample means is given by,

\sigma_{\bar x}=\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

The information provided is:

<em>n</em> = 200

<em>σ</em> = 19.0

Population is skewed.

As the sample selected is quite large, i.e. <em>n</em> = 200 > 30 the central limit theorem can be used to approximate the distribution of the sample mean by the normal distribution.

So, \bar X\sim N(\mu, \frac{\sigma^{2}}{n}).

Then to construct a confidence interval for mean we will use a <em>z</em>-interval.

And for 95% confidence level we will compute the critical value of <em>z</em>, i.e. z_{\alpha/2}.

Thus, the correct option is (a).

The depth of snow after n hours of a snowstorm is represented by the function f(n + 1) = f(n) + 0.8 where f(0) = 2.5. Which stat
Alja [10]
C

"When the storm began", it means it has been snowed for 0 hours, so n=0.
f(0)=2.5, thus the <span>depth of snow was 2.5 inches when the storm began.

f(n+1)=f(n)+0.8, so f(n+1)-f(n)=0.8
it means when the time increases by one hour, the depth of snow increases by 0.8 inches.</span>
