Hello!
For me, the first step to any statistics exercise is to determine what is the variable of interest and it's distribution.
In this example the variable is:
X: height of a college student. (cm)
There is no information about the variable distribution. To estimate the population mean you need a variable with at least a normal distribution since the mean is a parameter of it.
The option you have is to apply the Central Limit Theorem.
The central limit theorem states that if you have a population with probability function f(X;μ,δ²) from which a random sample of size n is selected. Then the distribution of the sample mean tends to the normal distribution with mean μ and variance δ²/n when the sample size tends to infinity.
As a rule, a sample of size greater than or equal to 30 is considered sufficient to apply the theorem and use the approximation.
The sample size in this exercise is n=50 so we can apply the theorem and approximate the distribution of the sample mean to normal:
X[bar]~~N(μ;σ2/n)
Thanks to this approximation you can use an approximation of the standard normal to calculate the confidence interval:
98% CI
1 - α: 0.98
⇒α: 0.02
α/2: 0.01

X[bar] ± 
174.5 ± 
[172.22; 176.78]
With a confidence level of 98%, you'd expect that the true average height of college students will be contained in the interval [172.22; 176.78].
I hope it helps!
Well subtract 8 from 1000 and then do that five times. so 992,984,976,968, and 960<span />
The mean is the average you're used to, where you add up all the numbers and then divide by the number of numbers. The median is the middle value in the list of numbers. Mode is the number which appears most often in a set of numbers.
Hope this helps you :)
Answer:
<A = right angle
<B = acute angle
<C = obtuse angle
<D = acute angle
Step-by-step explanation:
Right angle = 90 degrees
Acute angle = less than 90 degrees
Obtuse angle = more than 90 degrees
1. sun gives warmth and the clothes will dry faster
2. the water from the clothes evaporates into the air -> air is moist -> more chance of mold in the room
