The confidence interval is from 0.2191 to 0.2649, given by

0.242\pm0.0229.

The z-score we need is found by first subtracting the confidence level from 1:
1 - 0.95 = 0.05

Divide that by 2:
0.05/2 = 0.025

Subtract that from 1:
1 - 0.025 = 0.975

Look this up in the middle of a z-table (http://www.z-table.com) and we see that the z-score is 1.96.

Now our confidence interval is given by
\overline{x} \pm z\times \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}
\\
\\0.242\pm 1.96 \times (\frac{0.037}{\sqrt{10}})
\\
\\0.242 \pm .0229
\\
\\0.242-0.0229=0.2191
\\
\\0.242+0.0229 = 0.2649

Answer: Natural law.

Step-by-step explanation:

Natural law this is a theory which is based on ethics and philosophy which states that human beings possess intrinsic values which guide our reasoning and behaviors. Natural law stands to maintain that these rules of right and wrong are inborn in people and are not created by the society or court judges. An example of Natural law is that it is bad to kill someone, and it’s is right to punish whoever kills someone.

in the example cited above it is morally wrong to kiss or furnicate in a cemetery ground and as such falls under the natural law cause our sense of judgment should come into play there.
