Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

The  confidence interval is  64.86

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are given the following data

   The following heights are

66, 65, 67, 62, 62, 65, 61, 70, 66, 66, 71, 63, 69, 65, 71, 66, 66, 69, 68, 62, 65, 67, 65, 71, 65, 70, 62, 62, 63, 64, 67, 67      

 The  sample size is n  =32

  The confidence level is k  = 95% = 0.95

The mean is evaluated as

          \= x = 66+ 65+ 67+ 62+ 62+ 65+ 61+ 70+ 66+ 66+ 71+63+ 69+ 65+ 71+ 66+ 66+ 69+ 68+ 62+ 65+ 67,+\\65+ 71+ 65+ 70+ 62+ 62+ 63+ 64+ 67+ 67 / 32

=>   \= x = \frac{2108}{32}

=>     \= x = 65.875

The standard deviation is evaluated as

           \sigma =  \sqrt{ v}

Now  

   v = ( 66-65.875 )^2+(65-65.875)^2+( 67-65.875)^2+ (62-65.875)^2+ (62-65.875)^2+ (65-65.875)^2+( 61-65.875)^2+ (70-65.875)^2+ (66-65.875)^2+ (66-65.875)^2+ (71+63-65.875)^2+ (69-65.875)^2+ (65-65.875)^2+ (71-65.875)^2+( 66-65.875)^2+ (66-65.875)^2+ (69-65.875)^2+ (68-65.875)^2+ (62-65.875)^2+ (65-65.875)^2+ (67-65.875)^2,+\\(65-65.875)^2+ (71-65.875)^2+ (65-65.875)^2+ (70-65.875)^2+( 62-65.875)^2+( 62-65.875)^2+ (63-65.875)^2+ (64-65.875)^2+ (67-65.875)^2+ (67-65.875)^2 / 32

=>v=  8.567329

=>   \sigma  =  \sqrt{8.567329}

=>   \sigma  =  2.927

The level of significance is evaluated as

        \alpha  =  1 - 0.95

        \alpha  =  0.05

The degree of freedom is  evaluated as

    Df =  n- 1 \equiv  Df  =  32 -1 = 31

The critical values for the level of significance is obtained from the z -table as

      t_c = t_{\alpha/2 } , Df =  t _{0.05/2}, 31 =\pm 1.96

The confidence interval is evaluated as

       \mu  = \= x \pm t_c *  \frac{\sigma }{\sqrt{n} }

substituting values

        \mu =65.875 \pm 1.96* \frac{2.927}{\sqrt{32} }

       \mu =65.875 \pm 1.01415

=>    64.86

Goryan [66]

Answer:

Amount theta she is putting in Checking account is 2272.80

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Amount on check = 2941

Amount that he want in cash = 100

Amount she put in saving account = 20% of remaining after getting cash

Remaining Amount she put in checking account.

To find: Amount in her Checking Account.

Amount left after taking cash = 2941 - 100 = 2841

Amount that she put in saving account = 20% of 2841 = \frac{20}{100}\times2841 =  568.20

Amount in her checking account = 2941 - 100 - 568.20  = 2272.8

Therefore, Amount theta she is putting in Checking account is 2272.80
