Drinks A fast-food chain sells drinks that it calls HUGE. When we take a sample of 25 drinks and weigh them, we find that the mean is 36.3 ounces with a standard deviation of 1.5 ounces. a. State how you would fill in the numbers below to do the calculation with a TI-84. b. Report the confidence interval in a carefully worded sentence.

ounces with a standard deviation of
1.5
ounces.
a. State how you would fill in the numbers below to do the calculation with a TI-84.
b. Report the confidence interval in a carefully worded sentence.
Definition Definition Number of subjects or observations included in a study. A large sample size typically provides more reliable results and better representation of the population. As sample size and width of confidence interval are inversely related, if the sample size is increased, the width of the confidence interval decreases.
(b) Define a simple random variable. Provide an example.
17. (a) Define the distribution of a random variable X.
(b) Define the distribution function of a random variable X.
(c) State the properties of a distribution function.
(d) Explain the difference between the distribution and the distribution function
of X.
16. (a) Show that IA(w) is a random variable if and only if A E F
