The table represents the function f (x) = 3x – 1. A 2-column table with 4 rows. Column 1 is labeled x with entries negative 5, negative 2, 4, 8. Column 2 is labeled f (x) with entries a, negative 7, b, c. Use the drop-downs to choose the values of a, b, and c to complete the table. a = b = c =

Arandom sample of n = 25 observations is taken from a n(µ, σ ) population. a 95% confidence interval for µ was calculated to be (42.16, 57.84). the researcher feels that this interval is too wide. you want to reduce the interval to a width at most 12 units. a) for a confidence level of 95%, calculate the smallest sample size needed. b) for a sample size fixed at n = 25, calculate the largest confidence level 100(1 − α)% needed.
