How do I find the ratio of this? It makes no sense to me

Volgvan

Answer:

$\frac{169}{289}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given 2 similar figures with ratio of sides = a : b, then

ratio of areas = a² : b²

Here ratio of sides = 52 : 68 = 13 : 17 ← in simplest form, thus

ratio of areas = 13² : 17² = 169 : 289 = $\frac{169}{289}$

Answer:

The 99% confidence interval would be given (11.448;14.152).

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Important concepts and notation

A confidence interval for a mean "gives us a range of plausible values for the population mean. If a confidence interval does not include a particular value, we can say that it is not likely that the particular value is the true population mean"

$s=16.6$ represent the sample deviation

$\bar X=12.8$ represent the sample mean

n =1003 is the sample size selected

Confidence =99% or 0.99

$\alpha=1-0.99=0.01$ represent the significance level.

2) Solution to the problem

The confidence interval for the mean would be given by this formula

$\bar X \pm z_{\alpha/2} \frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}$

We can use a z quantile instead of t since the sample size is large enough.

For the 99% confidence interval the value of $\alpha=1-0.99=0.01$ and $\alpha/2=0.005$ , with that value we can find the quantile required for the interval in the normal standard distribution.
