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

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:
Answer:
10,995.6 ft^3.
2300.3 gallons.
(both to the nearest tenth).
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of the surface of the river = area of the outer circle - area of the inner circle.
Radius of the outer circle = 30 *3 = 90 feet.
So the surface area of the river = π(90)^2 - π(85)^2
= 875π ft^2
Also the volume of the river = surface area * depth = 875π*4 = 3500π ft^3
= 10,995.6 ft^3.
Number of gallons of water it will hold = 10,995.6 / 4.78
= 2300.3 gallons.
If you treat multiplication as repeated a<span>ddition, then y</span>es, Juan is correct. Only equal groups can be multiplied.
