The confidence interval would be (10.44, 12.16).  This means that if we take repeated samples, the true mean lies in 90% of these intervals.

To find the confidence interval, we use:
\overline{x} \pm z*(\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})

We first find the z-value associated with this.  To do this:
Convert 90% to a decimal:  90% = 90/100 = 0.9
Subtract from 1:  1-0.9 = 0.1
Divide by 2:  0.1/2 = 0.05
Subtract from 1:  1-0.05 = 0.95

Using a z-table (http://www.z-table.com) we see that this is directly between two z-scores, 1.64 and 1.65; we will use 1.645:

11.3 \pm 1.645*(\frac{16.6}{\sqrt{1002}})
\\
\\11.3 \pm 0.86
\\(11.3-0.86, 11.3+0.86)
\\(10.44, 12.16)

-8( -8x -6) = -6x - 22
SashulF [63]
Simplify both sides of the equation, add 6x to both sides, subtract 48 from both sides, then divide both sides by 70. Your answer would be x= -1

Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

7 x 4 = 28

28 x 1/2(dividing by 2) = 14, 14 x 2(two triangles) = 28

4 x 5 = 20(area of square in the middle)

5 x 8 = 40(area of square on one side), 40 x 2 = 80(area of squares on both sides)

Now lets add the given areas:

28 + 20 + 80 = 128 square is your answer.
