Answer:  1.0848

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence interval for population mean is given by :-

\overline{x}-z_{\alpha/2}\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}< mu< \overline{x}+ z_{\alpha/2}\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

, where z_{\alpha/2} = two -tailed z-value for {\alpha (significance level)

n= sample size .

\sigma = Population standard deviation.

\overline{x} = Sample mean

By considering the given information , we have

\sigma=0.2\text{ mg}

\overline{x}=1.2\text{ mg}

n= 20

\alpha=1-0.99=0.01

Using z-value table ,

Two-tailed Critical z-value : z_{\alpha/2}=z_{0.005}=2.576

The 99 percent two-sided confidence interval for the mean nicotine content of a cigarette will be :-

1.2- (2.576)\dfrac{0.2}{\sqrt{20}}

Hence, the 99 percent two-sided confidence interval for the mean nicotine content of a cigarette:  1.0848

How would you convince a fellow student hat the number 0.57 is a rational number
Pavlova-9 [17]

Start by proving to them that the number 0.57 can be converted into a fraction . A whole number can't exactly be put in to a fraction. 0.57 can be converted to 14.25/25. This information means that 0.57 IS a rational number. Hope this convinced them!

Find the measure of TRS
nignag [31]

Answer:  The sum of the measures of the angle inside of a triangle add up to 180 degrees. That's all we're doing over here. And so let's see if we can simplify this a little bit. So these two guys-- 90 plus 90's going to be 180, so you get 180 minus theta …
