What you said doesn't even make sense.
I'll assume you said f(x) = -5x^2 + 4.
This is an even function.
f(-x) = f(x)
Do you have any multiple choice questions? because I would need some choices so i could help you answer the question.
There are 8! possible combinations, or 8p8, and there is only 1 that has them in order from oldest to youngest, so the answer is A.
A) The question would be "Does cell phone use time correlate to brain cancer?". The population is all cell phone users. The sample is the 469 people with brain cancer, and the 422 healthy people.
B) This sample size may not portray the entire population of users because the positive results may have been fabricated by factors other than cell phone use. You would have to figure out the population size and determine the correct sample size.
C) This study may not portray cell phone use correlation over a large population efficiently because of the sample size and the predetermined conclusion that cell phone use causes cancer.
