We cannot calculate the confidence interval without the sample size.  However, for the second question, the sample size needed would be 49.

The formula we use is

n=(\frac{z_{\frac{\alpha}{2}}\times \sigma}{E})^2

To find the z-score:
Convert 98% to a decimal:  0.98
Subtract from 1:  1-0.98 = 0.02
Divide by 2:  0.02/2 = 0.01
Subtract from 1:  1-0.01 = 0.99

Using a z-table (http://www.z-table.com) we see that this value is closest to a z-score of 2.33.

Using the z-score, our standard deviation (9) and our margin of error (3), we have:
n=(\frac{2.33(9)}{3})^2=(6.99)^2=48.86\approx 49

Determine the area of the triangular ABC with AC =5cm and height DB=30mm​
seropon [69]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

AC² = AD² + DB ²

25 = AD² + 9

AD²= 25 - 9

AD² = 16

AD = 4

Area = 4*3 /2

= 6cm

How do I figure this out?
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

∠UXW = 36°

∠WZX = 66°

∠UWY = 48°

∠XYZ = 42°


Use the Alternate Exterior Angles Theorem. Always remember that a triangles angles add up 180°, so you can subtract the angles you already know in a triangle to figure out the remaining angle.
