Chapter 2.2, Problem 42E
Male Civilian Labor Force The table gives the male civilian labor force, in millions, for selected years from 1950 projected to 2050.
- a. Graph the data, with y equal to the number of men in the workforce, in millions, and x equal to the number of years after 1950.
- b. Find a linear function that models the data, with y equal to the number of men in the workforce, in millions, and x equal to the number of years after 1950.
- c. Graph the model and the data on the same axes, and comment on the fit of the model to the data.
- d. What does the model predict that the number of men in the workforce will be in 2051?
- e. In what year does the model predict that the population will be 99.5 million?

The CLT provides an approximate sampling distribution for the arithmetic average Ỹ of a random sample Y₁, . . ., Yn f(y). The parameters of the approximate sampling distribution depend on the mean and variance of the underlying random variables (i.e., the population mean and variance). The approximation can be written to emphasize this, using the expec- tation and variance of one of the random variables in the sample instead of the parameters μ, 02: YNEY, · (1 (EY,, varyi n For the following population distributions f, write the approximate distribution of the sample mean.
