Question 8 The heights of 10 -year-olds, regardless of gender, closely follow a Normal distribution with a mean of 56 inches and a standard deviation of 5 inches. a. What is the probability that a randomly chosen 10 -year-old is shorter than 48 inches? (Round to 4 decimal places.) b. If the tallest \( 10 \% \) of the class is considered "very tall", what is the height cutoff for "very tall"? (Round to 2 decimal places.) [SAB2]

At a festival, one game involves guessing the number of candies in a plastic jar. The following data represents the guesses that people made during one hour at the festival. Complete the frequency table for this data. \[ 1382,1211,1354,1171,1058,1472,1132,1090,1132,1443,1163,1274,1112,1266,1254,1174 \]

The grades on the second statistics test for Mrs. Sweeney's class are in the following list. Find the frequency distribution for the grades, \[ \text { D, F, B, D, A, F, F, B, F, F, B, C, C, C, B, F, C, A, B, B, F } \]

Ork Explain why the \( t \)-distribution has less spread as the number of degrees of freedom increases. Choose the correct answer below. A. The \( t \)-distribution has less spread as the degrees of freedom increase because, as \( n \) increases, 2 of 8 posints information is known about \( \sigma, 9.2 .49 \) by the law of large numbers. B. The \( t \)-distribution has less spread as the degrees of freedom increase because, as \( n \) increases, s becomes closer to \( \sigma \) by the law of large numbers. C. The \( t \)-distribution has less spread as the degrees of freedom increase because, for large values of \( n \), \( n \geq 30 \), the \( t \)-distribution and the normal distribution are the sam D. The \( t \)-distribution has less spread as the degrees of freedom increase because the variability introduced into the \( t \)-statistic becomes greater as \( n \) increases.

Homework Determine the point estimate of the population proportion, the margin of error for the following confidence interval, and the number of individuals in the sample with the specified characteristic, \( x \), for the sample size provided. Lower bound \( =0.529 \), upper bound \( =0.831, n=1500 \) (Round to the nearest thousandth as needed.) The margin of error is \( \square \). (Round to the nearest thousandth as needed.)
