Answer:

The  90%  confidence interval for population mean is   14.7  <  \mu  <  19.1

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The sample mean is  \= x  =  16.9

    The confidence level is  C  =  0.90

     The sample size is  n  =  45

     The standard deviation

Now given that the confidence level is  0.90 the  level of significance is mathematically evaluated as

       \alpha =  1-0.90

       \alpha  =  0.10

Next we obtain the critical value of  \frac{\alpha }{2}  from the standardized normal distribution table. The values is  Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } =  1.645

The  reason we are obtaining critical values for \frac{\alpha }{2}  instead of  that of  \alpha  is because \alpha  represents the area under the normal curve where the confidence level 1 - \alpha (90%)  did not cover which include both the left and right tail while \frac{\alpha }{2}  is just considering the area of one tail which is what we required calculate the margin of error

  Generally the margin of error is mathematically evaluated as

        MOE  =  Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } *  \frac{\sigma }{\sqrt{n} }

substituting values

         MOE  = 1.645*  \frac{ 9 }{\sqrt{45} }

         MOE  = 2.207

The  90%  confidence level interval is mathematically represented as

      \= x  -  MOE  <  \mu  <  \= x  +  MOE

substituting values

     16.9 -  2.207  <  \mu  <  16.9 +  2.207

    16.9 -  2.207  <  \mu  <  16.9 +  2.207

     14.7  <  \mu  <  19.1

What pair of fractions is 0.8 between on a number line
madam [21]
0.8  has one decimal.. so... let's make it a fraction first, by using one zero with a one as denominator.

\bf 0.\underline{8}\implies \cfrac{08}{1\underline{0}}\impliedby \textit{one decimal, one zero, no dot}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\cfrac{8}{10}\implies \cfrac{4}{5}&#10;\qquad \qquad \qquad &#10;......\cfrac{1}{5}..\cfrac{2}{5}..\cfrac{3}{5}..\boxed{\cfrac{4}{5}}..\cfrac{5}{5}..\cfrac{6}{5}..\cfrac{7}{5}......

is between any of those, among many other fractions as well.
