You have been doing research for your statistics class on the prevalence of severe binge drinking among teens. You have decided to use 2011 Monitoring the Future (MTF) data that have a scale (from 0 to 14) measuring the number of times teens drank 10 or more alcoholic beverages in a single sitting in the past 2 weeks. a. According to 2011 MTF data, the average severe binge drinking score, for this sample of 914 teens, is 1.27, with a standard deviation of 0.80. Construct the 95% confidence interval for the true averse severe binge drinking score.
b. On of your classmates, who claims to be good at statistics, complains about your confidence interval calculation. She or he asserts that the severe binge drinking scores are not normally distributed, which in turn makes the confidence interval calculation meaningless. Assume that she or he is correct about the distribution of severe binge drinking scores. Does that imply that the calculation of a confidence interval is not appropriate? Why or why not?

Polygon mnopq is dilated by a scale factor of 0.8 with the origin as the center of dilation, resulting in the image m′n′o′p′q′. the coordinates of point m are (2, 4), and the coordinates of point n are (3, 5). the slope of is .

After a dreary day of rain, the sun peeks through the clouds and a rainbow forms. you notice the rainbow is the shape of a parabola. the equation for this parabola is y = -x2 + 36. graph of a parabola opening down at the vertex 0 comma 36 crossing the x–axis at negative 6 comma 0 and 6 comma 0. in the distance, an airplane is taking off. as it ascends during take-off, it makes a slanted line that cuts through the rainbow at two points. create a table of at least four values for the function that includes two points of intersection between the airplane and the rainbow. analyze the two functions. answer the following reflection questions in complete sentences. what is the domain and range of the rainbow? explain what the domain and range represent. do all of the values make sense in this situation? why or why not? what are the x- and y-intercepts of the rainbow? explain what each intercept represents. is the linear function you created with your table positive or negative? explain. what are the solutions or solution to the system of equations created? explain what it or they represent. create your own piecewise function with at least two functions. explain, using complete sentences, the steps for graphing the function. graph the function by hand or using a graphing software of your choice (remember to submit the graph).
