20. Since confidence intervals are based on the sampling distribution of the sample mean, it is possible to form confidence intervals when sampling from slightly skewed distributions due to the central limit theorem. A) True B) False

5. (18 pts) Circle True if the statement is ALWAYS true; circle False otherwise. No explanations are required. Let f be a one-to-one function and f its inverse. (a) If the point (2, 5) lies on the graph off, then the point (5,2) lies on the graph of f. True False f (2) = 5 f-1 (5) = 2 (b) sin-1 (T) = 0 True False Since >1, ris not in the domain of sin-?; | or sin-1 (7) #0, since sin (0) = 0 # Iff and g are two functions defined on (-1, 1), and if (c) limg (x) = 0, then it must be true that lim[ f(x) g (x)] = 0. True False Let f (x) = 1 / x, if x #0, and f (0) = 4 and g(x) = x. Then lim g (x) = lim (x) = 0, but Lim ( f (x) g(x)] = lim [() x] = 18 0. Iffis continuous on (-1, 1), and if f (0) = 10 and lim g (x) = 2, (a) True False then lin (= 5. Because lim : (*) - Limx-of (*) .f(0) = 20 = 5 If f is continuous on [1, 3], and if f(1) = 0 and f(3) = 4, then the equation f(x) = (e) has a solution in (1, 3). True False Since f continuous on [1, 3), f(1) = 0 < < 4 = f (3), by the Intermidiate Value Theorem there exists a cin (1, 3) such that f (c) = . (f) Let f be a positive function with vertical asymptote x = 5. Then lim f (x) = +0. True False Let f (x) = 1, if x < 5, and f (x) ==, ifx>5. Then lim f (x) = +00, and therefore, X = 5 is a vertical asymptote. 5 - X So, f is a positive function with vertical asymptote x = 5 but lim f (x) + +co, since lim f (x) = + 0 + lim f (x) = 1, which means that lim f (x) does not exist.

The proportion of students who own a cell phone on college campuses across the country has increased tremendously over the past few years. It is estimated that approximately 90% of students now own a cell phone. Fifteen students are to be selected at random from a large university. Assume that the proportion of students who own a cell phone at this university is the same as nationwide. Let X = the number of students in the sample of 15 who own a cell phone. 16. What is the appropriate distribution for X? A) X is N(15,0.9) B) X is B(15,0.9) C) X is B(15, 13.5) D) X is N(13.5, 1.16)

It is known that driving can be difficult in regions where winter conditions involve snow-covered roads. For cars equipped with all-season tires traveling at 90 km/hr, the mean stopping time in fresh snow is known to be 215 meters with a standard deviation of o = 2.5 meters. It is often advocated that automobiles in such areas should be equipped with special tires to compensate for such conditions, especially with respect to stopping distance. A manufacturer of tires made for driving in fresh snow claims that vehicles equipped with their tires have a decreased stopping distance. A study was done using a random sample of 9 snow tires from the manufacturer on a snow-covered test track. The tests resulted in a mean stopping distance of t = 212.9 meters. 30. What are the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses to test the manufacturer's claim? A) Ho:u=215 against H.: 4 > 215 B) Ho:u=215 against H:7215 C) Ho: u=215 against H: 4 <215 D) H: X = 215 against H: X <215 E) Snow tires decrease the stopping distance in loose snow.
