Answer:

Margin of Error = 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Using this formula Z (s/√n)

Where

S = 1.8----------------------------- Standard Deviation

n = 36 ----------------------------------Number of observation

Z = 1.645 ------------------------------The chosen Z-value from the confidence table below

Confidence Interval || Z

80%. || 1.282

85% || 1.440

90%. || 1.645

95%. || 1.960

99%. || 2.576

99.5% || 2.807

99.9%. || 3.291

Substituting these values in the formula

Margin of Error = 1.645 * (1.8/√36)

Margin of Error = 1.645 * (1.8/6)

Margin of Error = 1.645 * 0.3

Margin of Error = 0.4935

Margin of Error = 0.5 (Approximated)

In a circle, a 90° sector has area 16π ft2. What is the radius of the circle?
Veronika [31]
Sector area  = 0.5 * r^2 * angle (in radians)

so:

16 pi = 0.5 * r^2 * (90*pi/180)

r^2 = 16 pi /(0.25 pi) = 64

r = 8


therefore it would be d

Answer:

12.

Step-by-step explanation:

First arrange in ascending order:

2 5 8 10 14 17 21

The median is 10.

the lower quartile is the middle number of 2 5 and 8 which is 5.

Similarly the upper quartile is 17.

IQR = 17 - 5 = 12.
