Answer: Choice B) One-sixth
In other words, the fraction 1/6
===========================================================
Explanation:
The base, aka horizontal component, is 6 units long. Count out the spaces from -5 to 1 to get a result of 6.
Or you could subtract and use absolute value in either of these two ways
- |A - B| = |-5 - 1| = |-6| = 6
- |B - A| = |1 - (-5)| = |1 + 5| = |6| = 6
Where A = -5 and B = 1 are the endpoints mentioned. Absolute value is used to ensure the result of the subtraction isn't negative. Negative distance on a number line doesn't make sense.

However you determine the base, we'll multiply it by the unknown height which we'll call h. This leads to the area of the rectangle. The area is 6h.
Rule: The area under a probability density curve must <u>always</u> be 1.
So the area 6h must be 1 which helps us see that...
6h = 1
h = 1/6
Divide both sides by 6 to isolate h fully.

Step-by-step explanation:
Then you need to simplify:
Answer:
1.703
Step-by-step explanation:
The reason we try to find t score is because the sample size is below 30, meaning the sample size is small
Hence:
Step 1
We find the degree of freedom
The Degrees of freedom = Number of samples - 1
The random number of samples = 28
= 28 - 1
= 27
Step 2
Using a t score table or t score calculator, we can obtain the t score value for a 90% confidence interval and degree of freedom of 27
90% confidence interval =
10% significance level = 0.10 for two tails or 0.1/2 = 0.05 for one tail
Hence: t90 = 1.703
