A forestry researcher wants to estimate the average height of trees in a forest near Atlanta, Georgia. She takes a random sample

of 18 trees from this forest. The researcher found that the average height was 4.8 meters with a standard deviation of 0.55 meters. Assume that the distribution of the heights of these trees is normal. For this sample what is the margin of error for her 99% confidence interval

Answer:

The margin of error for her confdence interval is of 0.3757.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the standard deviation for the sample, which means that the t-distribution is used to solve this question.

The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So

df = 18 - 1 = 17

99% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 17 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of 1 - \frac{1 - 0.99}{2} = 0.995. So we have T = 2.8982

The margin of error is:

M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}

In which s is the standard deviation of the sample and n is the size of the sample.

Standard deviation of 0.55 meters.

This means that s = 0.55

What is the margin of error for her 99% confidence interval?

M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}

M = 2.8982\frac{0.55}{\sqrt{18}}

M = 0.3757

The margin of error for her confdence interval is of 0.3757.

HELP MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer is 54^2.

since there are triangles in this one, it is easier to do this. all you have to do is make boxes in and since there are angles, outside the lines. like this picture.

the orange is 1
red and dotted is 2
blue is 3
purple is 4(a regular box which should be easy to count.

all you have to do is add up all the boxes within the boundaries.
boundary 1: 12
boundary 2: 18
boundary 3: 6
boundary 4: 36

now when the boundary has a triangle in it (1, 2, & 3) divide the number you got in half or 2.
boundary 1: 6
boundary 2: 9
boundary 3: 3

the ractangle box doesn't not get divided.
boundary 1: 6
boundary 2: 9
boundary 3: 3
boundary 4: 36

add all the numbers you got now for each boundary and that would be your area squared.

6+9+3+36=54^2

so your final answer is 54^2.

i hope this helps you.
