Answer:

Option C) 5.62 points  

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Sample size, n = 20

Sample mean score = 64

Sample standard deviation, s = 12

Degree of freedom =

=n-1\\=20-1\\=19

We have to calculate margin of error for a 95% confidence interval.

Formula for margin of error:

t_{critical}\times \displaystyle\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}  

Putting the values, we get,  

t_{critical}\text{ at degree of freedom 19 and}~\alpha_{0.05} = \pm 2.093  

2.093\times (\displaystyle\frac{12}{\sqrt{20}} )\\\\ =5.6161\approx 5.62  

Thus, the correct answer is

Option C) 5.62 points

Y+y+17+111+90=360
2y+128+90=360
2y=360-218
2y=142
y=142/2
y=71
thus, the angles are 71, 90, 111, 88.
