Answer:
B. 64.9
Step-by-step explanation:
A graphing calculator or spreadsheet can fit these points with an exponential curve. An appropriate answer for x=14 is about 73.3.

<em>Comment on the answer choices</em>
The closest answer that makes any sense is 64.9. Often these problems are worked by someone who uses inappropriate rounding of intermediate results. I haven't found the magic set of numbers to get 64.9. About the lowest I can get is 66.7, using 0.0037·e^(0.7x).
Given:
μ = 25 mpg, the population mean
σ = 2 mpg, the population standard deviation
If we select n samples for evaluation, we should calculate z-scores that are based on the standard error of the mean.
That is,
The random variable is x = 24 mpg.
Part (i): n = 1
σ/√n = 2
z = (24 -25)/2 = -0.5
From standard tables,
P(x < 24) = 0.3085
Part (ii): n = 4
σ/√n = 1
z = (24 -25)/1 = -1
P(x < 24) = 0.1587
Part (iii): n=16
σ/√n = 0.5
z = (24 - 25)/0.5 = -2
P(x < 24) = 0.0228
Explanation:
The larger the sample size, the smaller the standard deviation.
Therefore when n increases, we are getting a result which is closer to that of the true mean.
