Based on the given situation above, the given values are 8 kilometers and 24 minutes. To simplify these values, we will come up with the result of 1 km in 3 minutes. Therefore, the winner of the New York marathon ran 0.33 kms per one minute so the runners unit rate is 0.33kms/minute.
M = -6.5, because -6.5 times itself -5 times, it will be equivalent to 1/32.
I hope I helped! :-)
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
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".
The t distribution or Student’s t-distribution is a "probability distribution that is used to estimate population parameters when the sample size is small (n<30) or when the population variance is unknown".
The shape of the t distribution is determined by its degrees of freedom and when the degrees of freedom increase the t distirbution becomes a normal distribution approximately.
Data given
Confidence =0.99 or 99%
represent the significance level
n =16 represent the sample size
We don't know the population deviation 
Solution for the problem
For this case since we don't know the population deviation and our sample size is <30 we can't use the normal distribution. We neeed to use on this case the t distribution, first we need to calculate the degrees of freedom given by:

We know that
so then
and we can find on the t distribution with 15 degrees of freedom a value that accumulates 0.005 of the area on the left tail. We can use the following excel code to find it:
"=T.INV(0.005;15)" and we got
on this case since the distribution is symmetric we know that the other critical value is 
Theres one way i know its to divide 25 into 300 and the answer is 12
Answer:
greater than
Step-by-step explanation:
Since 2
is being multiplied by a number greater than 1, the result will be greater than 2 
If the multiplier was 1 then the result would be equal to 2 
If the multiplier was between 0 and 1 the result would be less than 2
