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.

Consider the function f left parenthesis x right parenthesis equals 4 x squared minus 3 x minus 1f(x)=4x2−3x−1 and complete parts (a) through (c). (a) find f left parenthesis a plus h right parenthesis f(a+h); (b) find startfraction f left parenthesis a plus h right parenthesis minus f left parenthesis a right parenthesis over h endfraction f(a+h)−f(a) h; (c) find the instantaneous rate of change of f when aequals=77.
