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

1/3 cup of flour makes 5 dinner rolls. How many cups of flour for 1 roll? and how much flower for 36 rolls?
shtirl [24]
For one roll, you need to take that 1/3 cup and split it into 5 parts. To do this, divide by 5, which means the fraction becomes 1/15, giving you 1/15 cup flower for one roll.

36 rolls is just 36 times the one roll, which is 36/15 cups. You can divide both parts by 3 to make that 12/5 cups for 36 rolls.
