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!

Answer:
0
Step-by-step explanation:
The function is defined everywhere except at x=-6. The limit value is the function value at that point.
f(6) = (6^2 -36)/(6 +6) = 0/12 = 0
The limit of the function is 0 as x → 6.
Answer:
Yes the relationship is linear and given by:
(first option of your list)
Step-by-step explanation:
Yes, it is a linear expression. As we did in previous exercises, we calculate the difference between consecutive y values of the table, and write down the answers we get:
-7-(-2) = -7+2 = -5
-12-(-7) = -12 +7 = -5
-17 - (-12) = -17 + 12 = -5
We notice that all of them give "-5"
Now we evaluate the difference between consecutive x-values in a similar fashion:
-5 -(-9) = -5+9 = 4
-1-(-5) = -1+5 = 4
3-(-1) = 3+1 = 4
We see that they all give 4 as the difference.
That means that the rate of change 
This means that the slope (rate of change) of the line is "-5/4"
We can now use the general point-slope form to write the equation of the line, using the first pair of the table as our selected point, and using "-5/4" for the slope:
which is the first expression listed among your possible answer choices.

Step-by-step explanation:
Let the unknown angle be x
As the interior angles in a triangle are added up to 180°
Hope this helps you.
Let me know if you have any other questions:-)
Multiply all the numbers by 2 first, so 12 yards 18 ft 8 in. After that, you simplify. There are three feet in a yard, so in eighteen feet there are 6 yards. That makes 18 yards and 8 in
