Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

Line segment AB consists of segment AC and segment CB.

AC = 7 cm

CB = 21 cm

The entire segment, AB = 21 + 7 = 28cm

The ratio of the segments partitions can be stated as follows:

Ratio of AC to CB = AC:CB = 7:21 = 1:3 = $\frac{1}{3}$

AC is ¼ of AB $(\frac{1}{1 + 3} = \frac{1}{4})$

CB is ¾ of AB $(\frac{3}{1 + 3} = \frac{3}{4})$

Answer:

$8.2-2.58\frac{2.2}{\sqrt{18}}=6.86$

$8.2+2.58\frac{2.2}{\sqrt{18}}=9.54$

So on this case the 90% confidence interval would be given by (6.86;9.54) And the error is given by:

$ME= 2.58\frac{2.2}{\sqrt{18}} =1.338$

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

$\bar X=8.2$ represent the sample mean for the sample

$\mu$ population mean (variable of interest)

$\sigma=2.2$ represent the population standard deviation

n represent the sample size

Solution to the problem

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

$\bar X \pm z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ (1)

Since the Confidence is 0.90 or 90%, the value of $\alpha=0.1$ and $\alpha/2 =0.005$ , and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-NORM.INV(0.005,0,1)".And we see that $z_{\alpha/2}=2.58$
