Find necessary and sufficient conditions (with proofs) such that the points z1, z2, z3, and z4 in the complex plane are the vertices of a parallelogram. I have read that the points z1, z2, z3, and z4 in the complex plane are vertices of a parallelogram if and only if z1 + z3 = z2 + z4. But, if this is indeed the case I would like to see the proofs of both of the directions. Please explain your reasoning and solution in as much detail as possible.

  • "Your solution, looks excellent. I recognize things from previous chapters. I have seen the standard deviation formula you used to get 5.154. I do understand the Central Limit Theorem needs the sample size (n) to be greater than 30, we have 100. I do understand the sample mean(s) of the population will follow a normal distribution, and that CLT states the sample mean of population is the population (mean), we have 143.74. But when and WHY do we use the standard deviation formula where you got 5.154. WHEN & Why use standard deviation of the sample mean. I don't understand, why don't we simply use the "100" I understand that standard deviation is the square root of variance. I do understand that the variance is the square of the differences of each sample data value minus the mean. But somehow, why not use 100, why use standard deviation of sample mean? Please help explain."
