An assistant to the mayor, who claims to understand statistics, complains about your confidence interval calculation. She asserts that the dollar losses from burglaries are not normally distributed, which in turn makes the confidence interval calculations meaningless. Assume that she is correct about the distribution of money loss. Why are the calculations of a confidence interval still appropriate

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the remainder theorem, if a function f(x) is divided by (x-a), then the remainder is defined by f(a).

It is given that has a remainder of 14.

Here, the function f(x) is divided by (x+6). So, on comparing (x+6) and (x-a), we get

So, by remainder theorem, remainder of is f(-6).

Since the remainder is 14, therefore

Therefore, the answer for first blank is -6 and for second blank is 14, i.e., .
