We have a sample of 28 data points. The sample mean is 30.0 and the sample standard deviation is 2.40. The confidence level required is 98%. Then, we calculate α by:

\begin{gathered} 1-\alpha=0.98 \\ \alpha=0.02 \end{gathered}

The confidence interval for the population mean, given the sample mean μ and the sample standard deviation σ, can be calculated as:

CI(\mu)=\lbrack x-Z_{1-\frac{\alpha}{2}}\cdot\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt[]{n}},x+Z_{1-\frac{\alpha}{2}}\cdot\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt[]{n}}\rbrack

Where n is the sample size, and Z is the z-score for 1 - α/2. Using the known values:

CI(\mu)=\lbrack30.0-Z_{0.99}\cdot\frac{2.40}{\sqrt[]{28}},30.0+Z_{0.99}\cdot\frac{2.40}{\sqrt[]{28}}\rbrack

Where (from tables):

Z_{0.99}=2.33

Finally, the interval at 98% confidence level is:

CI(\mu)=\lbrack28.94,31.06\rbrack

X(2x-8) = 0 how do you solve
sleet_krkn [62]

x * 2x = 3x   X*-8= -8x

minus 3x on both side

= -11x

-11x = 0

divide -11 on both side

= 0

Mary wants to find the area of the rectangle below.
jek_recluse [69]
So first find the area
area=legnth times width
area=5/6 times 1/6
5/6 times 1/6=5/36
area=5/36 square units

tile=side legnth 1/6
area of tile=legnth times width or legnth times legnth
1/6 times 1/6=1/36
we must find how many times 1/36 goes into 5/36
divide 5/36 by 1/36
5/36 divided by 1/36=5/36 times 36/1=5/1 times 36/36=5/1 times 1=5

the answer is 5 unit squares needed to tile
