So we know that the word 'product' means multiplication, and that means that h and 4 are being multiplied. Also, one-fifth of x is another way of saying that one-fifth is being multiplied with x. So then we can construct the equation:

$\frac{1}{5} x-(4*h)=35$

And we can then simplify this by taking out the multiplication sign:

$\frac{1}{5}x-4h=35$

And so since we do not know what x or h is equal to, this is as far as we can go.

In a random sample of 16 residents of the state of Washington, the mean waste recycled per person per day was 2.8 pounds with a

kakasveta [241]

Answer: The required confidence interval would be (2.72,2.89)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Mean = 2.8 pounds

Standard deviation = 0.24 pounds

n = sample size = 16

We need to find the 80% confidence interval for the mean waste.

z=1.341

So, the confidence interval will be

$\bar{x}\pm z\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}\\\\=(2.8\pm 1.341\times \dfrac{0.24}{\sqrt{16}})\\\\=(2.8\pm 1.314\times 0.06)\\\\=(2.8-0.07884,2.8+0.07884)\\\\=(2.72116,2.87884)$
