Answer:

The 98% confidence interval for the mean amount spent on their child's last birthday gift is between $40.98 and $43.02.

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 = 24 - 1 = 23

98% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 23 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of 1 - \frac{1 - 0.98}{2} = 0.99. So we have T = 2.5

The margin of error is:

M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 2.5\frac{2}{\sqrt{24}} = 1.02

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

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 42 - 1.02 = $40.98.

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 42 + 1.02 = $43.02.

The 98% confidence interval for the mean amount spent on their child's last birthday gift is between $40.98 and $43.02.

It is -p... think about it.... two negative signs equal a positive sign, if there are an odd number of negative sign's the real answer is -p, and if there is an even amount, it means it is positive p. In your situation, there are 5 negative signs, so since 5 is an odd number, the p has to be negative.
