Answer:
The 99% confidence interval for the true mean number of hours a union member is absent per month is (0 hours, 16.5125 hours).
Step-by-step explanation:
We have that to find our
level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of
.
So it is z with a pvalue of
, so 
Now, find M as such

In which s is the standard deviation of the sample.
So

The lower end of the interval is the mean subtracted by M. So it is 7.5 - 9.0125 = -...
There is not a negative number of hours. So the lower end of the interval is 0 hours.
The upper end of the interval is the mean added to M. So it is 7.5 + 9.0125 = 16.5125 hours.
The 99% confidence interval for the true mean number of hours a union member is absent per month is (0 hours, 16.5125 hours).

Answer:
$121.51
Step-by-step explanation:
At 18.7%, the monthly multiplier is 1+.187/12, so for the year, James' balance is multiplied by (1+.187/12)^12 ≈ 1.2038899
At 12.5%, the monthly multiplier is 1+.125/12, so for the year, James' balance is multiplied by (1+.125/12)^12 ≈ 1.1324161
The difference in these multipliers is ...
1.2038899 -1.13241605 = 0.0714739
so James' savings is ...
$1700 × 0.0714739 ≈ $121.51
