Answer:

The human hair would be 0.0008 meters thicker, or 8 × 10^{-4}.

Step-by-step explanation:

Thickness of a Human Hair: 3.2 × 10^{-3}

Grain of Sand: 2.4 × 10^{-3}

3.2 × 10^{-3} - 2.4 × 10^{-3}

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence interval is written in the form,

(Sample mean - margin of error, sample mean + margin of error)

The sample mean, x is the point estimate for the population mean.

Since the sample size is large and the population standard deviation is known, we would use the following formula and determine the z score from the normal distribution table.

Margin of error = z × σ/√n

Where

σ = population standard Deviation

n = number of samples

From the information given

1) x = 17.5

σ = 5

n = 50

To determine the z score, we subtract the confidence level from 100% to get α

α = 1 - 0.9 = 0.1

α/2 = 0.1/2 = 0.05

This is the area in each tail. Since we want the area in the middle, it becomes

1 - 0.05 = 0.95

The z score corresponding to the area on the z table is 1.645. Thus, confidence level of 90% is 1.645

Margin of error = 1.645 × 5/√50 = 1.16

Confidence interval = 17.5 ± 1.16

morpeh [17]
Let, the height of a tree = x

Then, x/16 = 5 1/4  / 4
x/16 = 21 / 4*4
x/16 = 21/16
x = 21

In short, Height of the Tree is 21 Feet

Hope this helps!
