Weights of women in one age group are normally distributed with a standard deviation σ of 18 lb. A researcher wishes to estimate the mean weight of all women in this age group. Find how large a sample must be drawn in order to be 90 percent confident that the sample mean will not differ from the population mean by more than 2.0 lb.

On the way home from visiting his family, vincent’s plane cruised at an altitude of 3.2 × 104 feet. he had heard that a man named felix baumgartner skydived from an altitude of 1.28 × 105 feet. vincent wants to know how much higher felix went on his skydiving trip. question 1 you have already seen how adding numbers works in either scientific notation or standard notation. but can you subtract numbers in scientific notation and get the same results as subtracting in standard notation? to find out, first solve vincent’s problem in standard notation. part a write the cruising altitude of vincent’s plane in standard notation.
