Answer with explanation:</h2><h2 />
The confidence interval for population mean is given by :-

Given : Sample size : n= 5, since n<30 , so the test we use here is t-test.
Sample mean : 
Standard deviation: 
Significance level : 
By using the standard normal distribution table , the critical value corresponds to the given significance level will be :-

Now, the 99% confidence interval for the mean waste recycled per person per day for the population of Texas will be :-

Hence, the 99% confidence interval for the mean waste recycled per person per day for the population of Texas = (0.068, 3.732)
15. 3x - 2y = -2
3x - 3x - 2y = -3x - 2
-2y = -3x - 2
-2 -2
y = 1.5x + 1
y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)
y - 3 = ⁻²/₃(x - (-2))
y - 3 = ⁻²/₃(x + 2)
y - 3 = ²/₃(x) - ²/₃(2)
y - 3 = ⁻²/₃x - 1¹/₃
+ 3 + 3
y = ⁻²/₃x + 1²/₃
16. 230 = 0.2s + 150
- 150 - 150
80 = 0.2s
0.2 0.2
400 = s
17. y = 2x + 2
