Answer: (3.46, 3.62)

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to find the confidence interval for population mean is given :-

\overline{x}\ \pm\ t_{\alpha/2}\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n}}

, where n = sample size.

t_{\alpha/2} = Two-tailed t-value for significance level of (\alpha) and degree of freedom df= n-1.

s = sample standard deviation.

As per given , we have

\overline{x}= 3.54 mm

s= 0.20 mm

n= 25

Significance level =\alpha=1-0.95=0.05

Since population standard deviation is not given , it means the given problem has t- distribution.

Two-tailed t-value for significance level of (0.05) and degree of freedom df= 24:

t_{\alpha/2\ ,df}=t_{0.025,\ 24}=2.0639

95% Confidence interval for population mean:

3.54\ \pm\ (2.0639)\dfrac{0.20}{\sqrt{25}}

=3.54\ \pm\ (2.0639)\dfrac{0.20}{5}

=3.54\ \pm\ (2.0639)(0.04)

=3.54\ \pm\ 0.082556

=(3.54- 0.082556,\ 3.54+ 0.082556 )=(3.457444,\ 3.622556)\approx(3.46,\ 3.62)

Hence, the 95% two-sided confidence interval for the mean glass thickness = (3.46, 3.62)

2 to the power of 61 is = 2305843009213694000

then just minus that by 1 and divide it by 3. if it’s divisible then it’s a multiple of 3.
