7.43: Let 
denote the random variable for height and 
for the sample mean. Then if 
is the mean of
So the probability that the difference between the sample and population means does not exceed 0.5 inch is
per the empirical or 68/95/99.7 rule.
7.44: For a sample of size <em>n</em>, the sample standard deviation would be 
. We want to find <em>n</em> such that
Comparing to the equation from the previous part, this means we would need
so a sample of at least 157 men would be sufficient.
Answer:
0.86.

Calculator.
For problem 2, you are correct in stating that a curve forms. Specifically, if we were to trace along the outer edge of the shape, then we'd form a <u>parabola</u> that has been tilted 45 degrees compared to the more familiar form that students are taught (where the axis of symmetry is vertical).
For more information, search out "Tangent method for parabolas". As the name implies, the tangent method draws out the tangents of the parabola which helps form the parabola itself.
Everything else on your paper is correct. You have problem 1 correct, and the table is filled out perfectly. Nice work.
Easy
y=a(x-h)^2+k
vertex is (h,k)
we know that vertex is (4,0)
input that point for (h,k)
y=a(x-4)^2+0
y=a(x-4)^2
passes thorugh the point (6,1)
input that point to find a
1=a(6-4)^2
1=a(2)^2
1=a(4)
divide both sides by 4
1/4=a
thefor the equation is
y=(1/4)(x-4)^2
or
y=(1/4)x^2-2x+4
