The complete question is
<span>Bradley made a house for his dog, Bowser, out of wood with a cube base and a triangular prism top. The dimensions of the dog house are a = 2 feet, b = 1 foot, and c = 1.4 feet.
</span><span>If Bradley plans to paint the outside of the dog house blue, not including the bottom, how many square feet of paint will he use?
the picture in the attached figure
</span>
we know that
surface area of the figure=surface area of cube+surface area of triangular prism
surface area of cube=4*a²----> 4*2²-----> 16 ft²
surface area of triangular prism=2*[a*c]+2*[a*b/2]---> 2*[2*1.4]+[2*1]
surface area of triangular prism=5.6+2----> 7.6 ft²
surface area of the figure=16 ft²+7.6 ft²----> 23.6 ft²
the answer is
23.6 ft²

Answer:
a) To determine the minimum sample size we need to use the formula shown in the picture 1.
E is the margin of error, which is the distance from the limits to the middle (the mean) of the confidence interval. This means that we have to divide the range of the interval by 2 to find this distance.
E = 0.5/2 = 0.25
Now we apply the formula
n = (1.645*0.80/0.25)^2 = 27.7 = 28
The minimum sample size would be 28.
b) To answer the question we are going to make a 90% confidence interval. The formula is:
(μ - E, μ + E)
μ is the mean which is 127. The formula for E is shown in the picture.
E = 0.80*1.645/√8 = 0.47
(126.5, 127.5)
This means that the true mean is going to be contained in this interval 90% of the time. This is why it doesn't seem possible that the population mean is exactly 128.
