Since we do not know the population standard deviation, we will use the t-distribution to construct the 90% confidence interval of the mean number of books people read. The value of

with 1010 degrees of freedom and with alpha equals to 0.10 is 1.64
First, we need to solve for the margin of error, E.

The lower bound of the confidence interval is

The upper bound of the confidence interval is

Therefore, the 90% confidence interval is
(13.94, 15.66).
We are 90% confident that the interval from 13.94 books to 15.66 books does contain the true value of the population mean number of books people read.

Answer:
- 5 ft from ceiling
- 9 ft from side wall
Step-by-step explanation:
Halfway along the 18' length from side wall to side wall will be 18'/2 = 9' from either wall.
Halfway along the 10' length from floor to ceiling will be 10'/2 = 5' from the ceiling (or floor).
The midpoint of the wall is 5' from the ceiling and 9' from the side wall.
Let d be distance travelled when they are level , and t = time that nora took to get level with mason
for Nora
6 = d/t
d = 6t
for Mason
5 = d / (t + 35)
d = 5 ( t + 350
so 6t = 5(t + 35)
solve for t
