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

2. Tina uSUally brings her children every Sunday afternoon at the children's park in their barangay. The park is 350m Iong and 2
Verdich [7]

Answer: kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Total area of parknand path way = 74,464 m2.

Dimension of park = 350m by 200m

Using the area of rectangle formula:

Area = Length * width

Area of park = 350m * 200m

Area of park = 70,000

Area of path = (74,464 - 70,000) = 4,464m2

Since path has uniform width, then width of the the path is sqrt(4464) = 66.8m

2.) the path of the park seems a bit narrow, hence, I wouldn't love children to bike and jog in such a narrow path
