Suppose x has a mound-shaped distribution with σ= 3.
(a) Find the minimal sample size required so that for a 95% confidence interval, the maximal margin of error is E=0.4.
(b) Based on this sample size, can we assume that the x distribution is approximately normal? Explain.

A random sample of 16 values is drawn from a mound-shaped and symmetric distribution. The sample mean is 15 and the sample standard deviation is 2. Use a level of significance of 0.05 to conduct a two-tailed test of the claim that the population mean is 14.5. (a) Is it appropriate to use a Student's t distribution? Explain. Yes, because the x distribution is mound-shaped and symmetric and σ is unknown.No, the x distribution is skewed left. No, the x distribution...
