Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean = sum of terms/number of terms

The mean of the given sample is

(8 + 9 + 10 + 13 + 14 + 16 + 17 + 20 + 21)/9 = 14.2

a)

For a confidence level of 95%, the corresponding z value is 1.96.

We will apply the formula

Confidence interval

= mean ± z ×standard deviation/√n

Where

n represents the number of samples

It becomes

14.2 ± 1.96 × 2.8/√9

= 14.2 ± 1.96 × 0.933

= 14.2 ± 1.83

The lower end of the confidence interval is 12.37

The upper end of the confidence interval is 16.03

b)

For a confidence level of 99%, the corresponding z value is 2.58

We will apply the formula

Confidence interval

= mean ± z ×standard deviation/√n

Where

n represents the number of samples

It becomes

14.2 ± 2.58 × 2.8/√9

= 14.2 ± 2.58 × 0.933

= 14.2 ± 2.4

The lower end of the confidence interval is 11.8

The upper end of the confidence interval is 16.6

Answer:

The answer is 9x-4.

Step-by-step explanation:

First calculate the area of the backyard. This is 13x-1. Then multiply the area of the patio so multiply x +3 by x+ 3. The answer to this is 4x+3. Next subtract the area of the patio from the area of the backyard. The answer is 9x-4.
