Answer:

15.3 litres

Step-by-step explanation:

You can do this many different ways, but this is how i did it:

1) I'm going to find how much gas it takes to travel just 1 km.

So, to drive for 1 km, I only need 18/420 litres of gas.

<em>*you can solve this, but you'll just get a really long decimal, so i find it easier just to keep it as a fraction until i'm at the end of solving. </em>

2) Now times the amount of petrol it takes to travel 1 km by 357, to find the final answer.

18/420 x 357 = 15.3 litres

Hope that helped : )

Intellectual development (Perry) scores were determined for 21 students in a first-year, project-based design course. (Recall th

Answer:

The 99% confidence interval is (3.0493, 3.4907).

We are 99% sure that the true mean of the students Perry score is in the above interval.

Step-by-step explanation:

Our sample size is 21.

The first step to solve this problem is finding our degrees of freedom, that is, the sample size subtracted by 1. So

$df = 21-1 = 20$ .

Then, we need to subtract one by the confidence level $\alpha$ and divide by 2. So:

$\frac{1-0.99}{2} = \frac{0.01}{2} = 0.005$

Now, we need our answers from both steps above to find a value T in the t-distribution table. So, with 20 and 0.005 in the two-sided t-distribution table, we have $T = 2.528$
