Answer:
-j, 0, j-k
Step-by-step explanation:
j is a positive number, so -j will be less than 0.
j is a number greater than k, so j - k will be greater than 0.
From least to greatest, the order is ...
-j, 0, j-k
It's "D", because when you divide 4.5/5 you get .90 per pound so buying per pound it less.
Answer: The 95% confidence interval is approximately (55.57, 58.43)
======================================================
Explanation:
At 95% confidence, the z critical value is about z = 1.960 which you find using a table or a calculator.
The sample size is n = 17
The sample mean is xbar = 57
The population standard deviation is sigma = 3
The lower bound of the confidence interval is
L = xbar - z*sigma/sqrt(n)
L = 57 - 1.960*3/sqrt(17)
L = 55.5738905247863
L = 55.57
The upper bound is
U = xbar + z*sigma/sqrt(n)
U = 57 + 1.960*3/sqrt(17)
U = 58.4261094752137
U = 58.43
Therefore the confidence interval (L, U) turns into (55.57, 58.43) which is approximate.
