Determine whether the following statement is true or false. To construct a confidence interval about the mean, the population from which the sample is drawn must be approximately normal.

a. True
b. False

Step-by-step explanation:

In constructing a confidence interval about the mean, the central limit theorem is usually applied. This makes it possible to use the normal distribution. As the number of samples is increasing, the distribution tends to be normal. This would require using the z distribution. In the case where the sample size is small, we assume a normal distribution and use the t distribution. Therefore, the given statement is true.

77

step-by-step explanation:

let x be the money she spent so that she can earn the free t-shirt.

since, she already spent $112.49

⇒

also, as per the statement: jennifer must spend $250 or more in order to qualify for a free t-shirt at the store.

then,

we have an inequality i.,e

subtract 112.49 from both sides we get;

therefore, $137. 51 more money does jennifer need to spend so that she can earn the free t-shirt
