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

A right regular pentagonal prism has a base edge length 14 cm, and height 12 cm. Identify the volume of the prism to the nearest
maks197457 [2]

Answer:

4046.56 cm3

Step-by-step explanation:

The base is made by 5 isosceles triangles, with one side of 14 cm, and the opposite angle of \frac{360} 5 = 72°. Each of the other angle is \frac{180-72} {2} =54°. From there, you can calculate the height of each base triangle as in \frac {h} 7 = tan54 or 9.634...cm.

Your volume will be 5 * \frac  {(14 * 9.634)} 2 * 12 = 4046.56 cm^3
