Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Previous concepts
A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".
The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.
Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".
represent the sample mean for the sample
population mean (variable of interest)
s represent the sample standard deviation
n represent the sample size
Solution to the problem
The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:
(1)
For this case the confidence interval is given by (6.55,8.15). And we can estimate the margin of error with this formula since the confidence interval is symmetrical:

Answer:
The first derivative of
is
.
Step-by-step explanation:
We proceed to find the first derivative of
by explicit differentiation and rule of chain:



The first derivative of
is
.
We will use the Pythagorean theorem:
c² = a² + b²
41² = 40² + b²
1681 = 1600 + b²
b² = 1681 - 1600
b² = 81
b = √ 81
b = 9 in
Answer: The length of the other leg is 9 inches.
The question is kind of vague in my opinion.
the best measurement to report with the scale in my opinion would be tens of pounds. my reasoning is because the decimal place would still prove importance with numbers under one hundred. above one hundred pounds and the decimal place becomes kind of pointless.
I hope I answered your question. though i'm sorry if i didn't
