To solve for the confidence interval for the true average
percentage elongation, we use the z statistic. The formula for confidence
interval is given as:
Confidence interval = x ± z σ / sqrt (n)
where,
x = the sample mean = 8.63
σ = sample standard deviation = 0.79
n = number of samples = 56
From the standard distribution tables, the value of z at
95% confidence interval is:
z = 1.96
Therefore substituting the known values into the
equation:
Confidence interval = 8.63 ± (1.96) (0.79) / sqrt (56)
Confidence interval = 8.63 ± 0.207
Confidence interval = 8.42, 8.84

Chun wants to <span>reduce the weight of garbage produced to 85% of the weight produced this month.
This means that, Chun's garbage weight next month should be equal to 85% of his garbage weight this month.
Translating this into an equation, we will find that:
garbage weight next month = 85% of garbage weight this month
garbage weight next month = 0.85 * garbage weight this month
garbage weight next month = 0.85*690
garbage weight next month = 586.5 pounds
Based on the above calculations, his target weight for the garbage next month is </span>586.5 pounds
The answer is (-4,-4) because y has to equal x, the first -4 is the x and the second one is the y
