Answer:

12 years later.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let assume in X years, the table will be twice as old as the sofa.

36+X=2(12+X), X=12

Or think it the other way. The difference of ages between two things never change. So they must have a difference(of age) of 24 forever. When will this difference(24) be as same as the younger's age so that the older one is exactly twice as old as the younger? 12 years later when the sofa is 24.

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval estimate for the population mean force is (1691, 1755).

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Central Limit Theorem if we have an unknown population with mean μ and standard deviation σ and appropriately huge random samples (n > 30) are selected from the population with replacement, then the distribution of the sample mean will be approximately normally.

The sample selected here is n = 30.

Thus, the sampling distribution of the sample mean will be normal.

Compute the sample mean and standard deviation as follows:

$\bar x=\frac{1}{n}\sum x=\frac{1}{30}\times 51702=1723.4\\\\s=\sqrt{\frac{1}{n-1}\sum (x-\bar x)^{2}}=\sqrt{\frac{1}{30-1}\times 232561.2}=89.55$
