Answer:
For a sample size of 10, the t-value is about 3.25 (from tables) at a 99% confidence interval.
Explanation:
When the standard deviation for the population is not known, the confidence interval estimate for the population mean is performed with the Student's t-distribution.
The confidence interval for the mean is calculated as
where
= sample mean,
s = sample standard deviation,
t = t-value (provided in tables),
n = sample size.
When reading the t-value, (n-1) is called the df or degrees of freedom.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
- In order to combine these two equations, an idea you need to keep in mind is finding a way of setting these equations as equal to each other. I saw that each equation shared a common value,
. In this case, we need to isolate
.
- With this, we now know that both
and
are equal to
