Answer:
1.00434
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the following :
Given a normal distribution ;
Mean (m) = 1.0 liter
Standard deviation (σ) = 0.01 liter
Sample size (n) = 25
For 97% sample means (sm) = 0.97
Z = (m - sm) / s
Zcrit = 1 - (100% - 97%)/2
Zcrit = 1 - (0.03/2)
Zcrit = 1 - 0.015 = 0.985
The z score which corresponds to 0.985 = 2.17
Upper limit : m + z*(σ/√n)
Upper limit : 1.0 + 2.17*(0.01/√25)
Upper limit : 1. 0 + 2.17*(0.01/5)
= 1.0 + 2.17*0.002
= 1.0 + 0.00434
= 1.00434
Area of triangle = 1/2 x base x height
so old triangle we have 1/2 x b x h = 48
new triangle has base 3 times as long and height is half as long
so we would get:
1/2 x (3B) x (1/2H) = area
rewrite as 1/2 x 3/2 x b x H = area
divide by original are os 1/2 x b x h and you end up with 3/2
so new area = 3/2 x old area
new area = 3/2 * 48 = 72 square inches
