Final answer:

To change the width of column C to 15 characters in Excel, right-click on the column header, select 'Column Width,' enter '15,' and click 'OK.' This sets an approximate width based on a standard character size.

Step-by-step explanation:

To change the width of column C to exactly 15 characters in a spreadsheet program like Microsoft Excel, follow these steps: Firstly, move your cursor to the header of column C. Then, right-click on the column C header to open the column options menu. Next, select the Column Width option from the menu.

Once the Column Width dialog box appears, enter 15 into the input field. This value is not exactly characters but a measurement that Excel uses to approximate character width (since character width can vary depending on the font used). Finally, click OK or press Enter to apply the change. If you're referring to a different software or context where characters directly correspond to column width, please provide that specificity for a precise answer.

Final answer:

To change the column width to 15 characters in Excel, right-click on column C, choose 'Column Width,' and enter the value '15'. The provided instructions, however, do not match this process but instead seem related to a statistical function within a calculator program.

Step-by-step explanation:

To change the width of column C to exactly 15 characters, you will typically need to use a spreadsheet program such as Microsoft Excel. However, the instructions given do not correlate to any known functionality within Excel or similar spreadsheet tools.

Normally, to adjust column width in Excel to a specific number of characters, you would:

  • Right-click on the column C header.
  • Select 'Column Width' from the context menu.
  • Type the value '15' (assuming each character is approximately one unit wide).
  • Press 'OK' to apply the new width.

Unfortunately, the instructions provided do not correspond to this process and appear to be for a different type of task, possibly related to a statistics function, which involves pressing STAT and navigating through menus, unrelated to changing column width. If these are the instructions you have, it seems there might be a mix-up, and you should confirm the steps for the task you want to complete.
