<h2>Answer with explanation:</h2>

Confidence interval for mean, when population standard deviation is unknown:

\overline{x}\pm t_{\alpha/2}\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n}}

, where \overline{x} = sample mean

n= sample size

s= sample standard deviation

t_{\alpha/2} = Critical t-value for n-1 degrees of freedom

We assume the population has a normal distribution.

Given, n= 19 , s= 3.8 , \overline{x}=22.4

\alpha=1-0.99=0.01

A) Critical t value for \alpha/2=0.005 and degree of 18 freedom

t_{\alpha/2} = 2.8784

B) Required confidence interval:

22.4\pm ( 2.8744)\dfrac{3.8}{\sqrt{19}}\\\\=22.4\pm2.5058\\\\=(22.4-2.5058,\ 22.4+2.5058)=(19.8942,\ 24.9058)\approx(19.9,\ 24.9)

Lower bound = 19.9 years

Uppen bound = 24.9 years

C) Interpretation: We are 99% confident that the true population mean of lies in (19.9, 24.9) .

Round to the nearest hundredth
Charra [1.4K]
Hey there,
1st hat = x
2nd hat = 2x
3x = $75.12
x= $75.12 / 3
  = $25.04
2x = $25.04 x 2
     =$50.08
     = $50.10 (round off)

Hope this helps ^_^

Find the length of molding needed for a 10'5" by 9'8" floor
disa [49]
Perimeter = 2(length + width)
p = 2(10'5" + 9'8")
p = 2(19'13")
p = 38'26"

26" = 2'4"

So...
38' + 2'4" = 40' 4" for the perim,eter

PLEASE HELP ME IF YOU CAN! please tell me how you got the answer thank you!

3sqrt(2)

You can either use Pythagorean theorem or special triangle proportions to find the side that is parallel to z. Since in a 45-45-90 degree triangle, the hypotenuse is the leg times the square root of 2, and the hypotenuse is 3, we know that the leg is 3/sqrt(2) which is equal to 3 sqrt(2) / 2. Since z is twice this length, we know that z is equal to 2 x 3sqrt(2)/2 = 3sqrt(2)
