Answer:

t=\pm 2.95

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".  

The t distribution or Student’s t-distribution is a "probability distribution that is used to estimate population parameters when the sample size is small (n<30) or when the population variance is unknown".

The shape of the t distribution is determined by its degrees of freedom and when the degrees of freedom increase the t distirbution becomes a normal distribution approximately.  

Data given

Confidence =0.99 or 99%

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

n =16 represent the sample size

We don't know the population deviation \sigma

Solution for the problem

For this case since we don't know the population deviation and our sample size is <30 we can't use the normal distribution. We neeed to use on this case the t distribution, first we need to calculate the degrees of freedom given by:

df=n-1=16-1=15

We know that \alpha=0.01 so then \alpha/2=0.005 and we can find on the t distribution with 15 degrees of freedom a value that accumulates 0.005 of the area on the left tail. We can use the following excel code to find it:

"=T.INV(0.005;15)" and we got t_{\alpha/2}=-2.95 on this case since the distribution is symmetric we know that the other critical value is t_{\alpha/2}=2.95

What is the expanded form of 1203
VikaD [51]
I'm assuming that when you say expanded form, you mean broken down into ones, tens, hundres and so forth. 
so, 1203=1000+200+3

The first pentagon is dilated to form the second pentagon. Drag and drop the answer to correctly complete the statement.
Hitman42 [59]
If the bigger pentagon has side length of 5 units and the smaller pentagon has side length of 1 unit, you can know that the dilation was 1/5 = 0.2

This means that the sides of the big pentagon were multiplied by 0.2 to obtain the smaller pentagon.
