Alice has some red balls and some black balls in a bag. Altogether she has 25 balls. Alice picks one ball from the bag. The probability that Alice picks a red ball is x and the probability that Alice picks a black ball is 4x. Work out how many black balls are in the bag.

You want to estimate the mean weight of all fish in a river. What should be the size of your sample , so that the 90 % confidence interval for the true population mean weight (μ) will have a margin of error of no more than 5 lb? Assume that the population standard deviation (σ) is 20 lb. Assume also normal distribution of all weights of the fish.

what is the central limit theorem

If you take sufficiently large samples from a population, the samples' means will be normally distributed, even if the population isn't normally distributed
