We cannot calculate the confidence interval without the sample size. However, for the second question, the sample size needed would be 49.
The formula we use is

To find the z-score:
Convert 98% to a decimal: 0.98
Subtract from 1: 1-0.98 = 0.02
Divide by 2: 0.02/2 = 0.01
Subtract from 1: 1-0.01 = 0.99
Using a z-table (http://www.z-table.com) we see that this value is closest to a z-score of 2.33.
Using the z-score, our standard deviation (9) and our margin of error (3), we have:
Answer:
a=4
Step-by-step explanation:
if a+5=2a+1
then 5-1 = 2a-a
so 4 = a
composite number means a number that can be formed by multiplying two smaller numbers
3n-1 for n=2, 3n-1=3*2-1=6-1=5
3n-1 for n=10, 3n-1=3*10-1=30-1=29
5 is composite because 2*2.5=5
29 is composite because 5*5.8=29
