Answer:
8
Step-by-step explanation:
first we will just solve the expression 2(4x +6)=78
1. use destributive property with 2(4x + 6)
2*4x=8x
2*6=12
(8x+12)=78
2. now that the expression is simplified down we will subtract 6 by 6 to isolate it
6-6+=0
78-6=72
3. now we can divide 8x by 8 also divide 78 by 8
8x/8=0
78/8= 9.75
Answer: ($143.69, $156.31)
Step-by-step explanation:
Confidence interval to estimate population mean :

, where
= population standard deviation
n= sample size
Sample mean
z= critical value.
As per given,
n= 40
= $15.50
$150
Critical value for 99% confidence level = 2.576
Then, 99% confidence interval for the population mean:

Hence, the required confidence interval : ($143.69, $156.31)
The answer is $1,051.17 if I’m not mistaken
