Find the estimate of the population mean and construct a t-distribution out of the given problem. The mean age of a random sample of 20 youth volunteers in a community project in Canduman is 17.5 years with a standard deviation of 2 years. The sample comes from approximately normal distribution. Give the estimate of the population's mean age at 95% confidence level. Construct the t-distribution of this problem.

A negatively-skewed distribution has = 60, = 10. If this entire distribution is transformed into z-scores, describe the shape, mean, and standard deviation for the resulting distribution of z-scores.
The GSS survey is conducted for approximately 2200 adults every year, since 1972 for a total of more than 38,000 participants. During several years of the GSS, participants were asked how many close friends they have. The mean for this variable was 7.44 friends, with a standard deviation of 10.98. The median was 5.00 and the mode was 4.00. What do the mean and standard deviation suggest about the shape of the distribution?
