Given:
Accuracy = 5
99% confidence interval
s = 17, sample standard deviation.

Because the population standard deviation is unknown, we should use the Student's t distribution.
The accuracy at the 99% confidence level for estimating the true mean is
t*( \frac{s}{ \sqrt{n} )}
where
n =  the sample size.
t* is provided by the t-table.

That is,
(17t*)/√n = 5
√n = (17t*)/5 = 3.4t*
n = 11.56(t*)²

A table of t* values versus df (degrees of freedom) is as follows.
Note that df = n-1.

     n      df         t*
------ --------  -------
1001 1000  2.581
  101    100  2.626
   81      80  2.639
   61      60  2.660

We should evaluate iteratively until the guessed value, n, agrees with the computed value, N.

Try n = 1001 => df = 1000.
t* = 2.581
N = 11.56*(2.581²) = 77
No agreement.

Try n = 81 => df = 80
t* = 2.639
N = 11.56*(2.639²) = 80.5
Good agreement

We conclude that n = 81.

Answer: The sample size is 81.

An angle measures 88° more than the measure of a complementary angle. what is the measure of each angle?
aleksandrvk [35]
Let one angle be x
Let second angle be 88+x
Sum of two complementary angles = 90°
x+ 88+ x = 90°
2x + 88 = 90
2x  = 90 - 88 = 2
x = 2/2 = 1

First angle = x = 1°
Second angle = 88 + x = 88+1 = 89°
I hope it is helpful:D

A table is 2 feet wide it is 6 times as long it is wide
yan [13]

Answer:

Length = 12 feet

Perimeter = 28 feet

Area = 24ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

You didn't ask a question so I don't know what the answer you want is so I assumed it was related to one of the answers shown above.

To calculate the length, you simply do 6*2

which is equal to 12.  

The length is 12 feet.

However, if you want to find the perimeter:

12 + 12 + 2+ 2 =  28ft

If you wanted to find the area:

12*2 = 24ft²

I hope this helps!
