Answer:
a. Identify the population of interest in this study.
- all the population of the country
b. Identify the sample for the study.
- 50 adults (the ones that were surveyed)
c. Identify the parameter of interest in the study.
- the parameter of interest is the people that believe that coffee shops are overpriced
d. Find and interpret a 95% confidence interval for the parameter of interest.
z score for a 95% confidence level = 1.96
margin of error (E) = z score x √{[0.4(1 - 0.4)] / 50} = 1.96 x 0.069282 = 0.13579
95% confidence level interval:
0.4 - 0.13579 = 0.26421
0.4 + 0.13579 = 0.53579
- 95% confidence interval (0.26421 , 0.53579)
<span>A cross-section parallel to the base is a rectangle measuring 15 inches by 8 inches.
</span><span>A cross-section perpendicular to the base through the midpoints of the 8-inch sides is a rectangle measuring 6 inches by 15 inches.

<span>A cross-section not parallel to the base that passes through opposite 6-inch edges is a rectangle measuring 6 inches by greater than 15 inches.
the cross sections that are parallel and perpendicular will have the same measurements as the non-intersected sides. the last one will be a diagonal so the intersected edge is 6 and it creates a right triangle so it must be larger than 15 inches.
