My answer is the 2nd option.

Without changing the compass setting from the previous step, place the compass on point P. Draw an arc similar to the one already drawn.

Parallel lines are lines that do not meet. In this figure, point P is the point where the 2nd line can be drawn and become parallel to line AB.

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval for the mean would be given by (56.604;68.596)

The 99% confidence interval for the mean would be given by (53.196;72.004)

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Previous concepts

When we compute a confidence interval for the mean, we are interested on the parameter population mean, and we use the info from the sample to estimate this parameter.

2) Basic operations

The sample mean can be calculated with the following formula

$\sum_{i=1}^n \frac{x_i}{n}$

Using excel we can use this function to calculate the mean:

=AVERAGE(54.2,59.8,61.8,63.3,65.1,71.4)

The value obtained is $\bar X=62.6$

In order to find the sample deviation we can use this formula

$s=\sqrt{\sum_{i=1}^n \frac{(x_i-\bar X)^2}{n-1}}$

And using excel we can use this function to calculate the sample standard deviation:

=STDEV.S(54.2,59.8,61.8,63.3,65.1,71.4)

The value obtained is $s=5.713$

The sample size for this case is n=6, n<30 so then is better use the t distribution to calculate the margin of error. First we need to calculate the degrees of freedom, on this case $df=n-1=6-1=5$

The formula for the confidence interval would be given by:

$\bar X \pm t_{\alpha/2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}$ (1)

3) Part a

If we want a 95% or 0.95 of confidence, then the value for the signficance is $\alpha=1-0.95=0.05$ , and $\alpha/2=0.025$ , and $1-\frac{\alpha}{2}=0.975$ so we can find the critical t value with the following formula in excel:

=T.INV(0.975,5)

And we got $t_{\alpha/2}= 2.571$

And we can replace into equation (1) and we got:

$62.6 \pm 2.571\frac{5.713}{\sqrt{6}}$

And using excel with the following formulas we got:

=62.6-2.571*(5.713/SQRT(6)) = 56.604

=62.6+2.571*(5.713/SQRT(6)) = 68.596

So the 95% confidence interval for the mean would be given by (56.604;68.596)

4) Part b

If we want a 99% or 0.99 of confidence, then the value for the signficance is $\alpha=1-0.99=0.01$ , and $\alpha/2=0.005$ , and $1-\frac{\alpha}{2}=0.995$ so we can find the critical t value with the following formula in excel:

=T.INV(0.995,5)

And we got $t_{\alpha/2}= 4.032$

And we can replace into equation (1) and we got:

$62.6 \pm 4.032\frac{5.713}{\sqrt{6}}$

And using excel with the following formulas we got:

=62.6-4.032*(5.713/SQRT(6)) = 53.196

=62.6+4.032*(5.713/SQRT(6)) = 72.004

So the 99% confidence interval for the mean would be given by (53.196;72.004)

34 less than the product of 14 and an unknown number is 78

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

34 less than (-34) the product of (multiply) 14 (14) and an unknown (x) is (=) 78 (78)

-34+14 times x=78
14 times x=14x
14x-34=78
add 34 to both sides
14x=112
divide both sdies by 14
x=8
the number is 8
