1/4 is 0.25 as a fraction
Answer:
b. 65
a. The notation f(-2) means that we want to evaluate the value of the equation when x = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
A. The notation f(-2) means that we want to evaluate the value of the equation when x = -2
B. We will simply substitute the value of 2 for x
f(x) = 6(8-x) + 5
f(-2) = 6(8 - (-2)) + 5
f(-2) = 6(8 + 2) + 5
f(-2) = 6(10) + 5 = 60 + 5 = 65

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!
