Answer: a) (176.76,172.24), b) 0.976.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that
Mean height = 174.5 cm
Standard deviation = 6.9 cm
n = 50
we need to find the 98% confidence interval.
So, z = 2.326
(a) Construct a 98% confidence interval for the mean height of all college students.

(b) What can we assert with 98% confidence about the possible size of our error if we estimate the mean height of all college students to be 174.5 centime- ters?
Error would be

Hence, a) (176.76,172.24), b) 0.976.
Medical bill = $8,440
Deductible = $400
Coinsurance plan = Medical policy 80% of all expenses above $400
Amount to pay = 400+ (8440-400)*20/100 = 400+1608 = $2,008
Since all sides of the square are equal, therefore area of square can be calculated using the following rule:
area of square = side^2
200 = (side length)^2
therefore,
the length of each side is sqrt(200) = 14.14 ft
