We have a sample of 28 data points. The sample mean is 30.0 and the sample standard deviation is 2.40. The confidence level required is 98%. Then, we calculate α by:

The confidence interval for the population mean, given the sample mean μ and the sample standard deviation σ, can be calculated as:
![CI(\mu)=\lbrack x-Z_{1-\frac{\alpha}{2}}\cdot\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt[]{n}},x+Z_{1-\frac{\alpha}{2}}\cdot\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt[]{n}}\rbrack](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=CI%28%5Cmu%29%3D%5Clbrack%20x-Z_%7B1-%5Cfrac%7B%5Calpha%7D%7B2%7D%7D%5Ccdot%5Cfrac%7B%5Csigma%7D%7B%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7Bn%7D%7D%2Cx%2BZ_%7B1-%5Cfrac%7B%5Calpha%7D%7B2%7D%7D%5Ccdot%5Cfrac%7B%5Csigma%7D%7B%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7Bn%7D%7D%5Crbrack)
Where n is the sample size, and Z is the z-score for 1 - α/2. Using the known values:
![CI(\mu)=\lbrack30.0-Z_{0.99}\cdot\frac{2.40}{\sqrt[]{28}},30.0+Z_{0.99}\cdot\frac{2.40}{\sqrt[]{28}}\rbrack](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=CI%28%5Cmu%29%3D%5Clbrack30.0-Z_%7B0.99%7D%5Ccdot%5Cfrac%7B2.40%7D%7B%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B28%7D%7D%2C30.0%2BZ_%7B0.99%7D%5Ccdot%5Cfrac%7B2.40%7D%7B%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B28%7D%7D%5Crbrack)
Where (from tables):

Finally, the interval at 98% confidence level is:

Step-by-step explanation:
The only touch at one point and they are not the same line and are not parallel
Let the length of maria's book be a and that of Brandon's be b.
So, by the question,
the difference in length of books is 56
i.e. a-b=56------(1)
and the length of books all together is 348
i.e. a+b=348------(2)
Adding (1) and (2);
(a-b)+(a+b)=56+348
or, a-b+a+b=404
or, 2a=404
or, a=202
substitutting the value of a in (2),
202+b=348
or, b=146
therefore, the length of Maria's book is 202
and the length of Brandon's book is 146.
