<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) .

If f(1) = 6 and f(n) = f(n − 1) +3, then f(7) =<br> (1) 10 (2) 24 (3) 15<br> (4) 18
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

24

Step-by-step explanation:

f(n) = f(n − 1) + 3

if n = 7 => f(7) = f(7-1) + 3 = f(6) + 3

if n = 6 => f(6) = f(6-1) + 3 = f(5) + 3

if n = 5 => f(5) = f(5-1) + 3 = f(4) + 3

if n = 4 => f(4) = f(4-1) + 3 = f(3) + 3

if n = 3 => f(3) = f(3-1) + 3 = f(2) + 3

if n = 2 => f(2) = f(2-1) + 3 = f(1) + 3

if f(1) = 6 then f(2) = 9

f(3) = 12

f(4) = 15

f(5) = 18

f(6) = 21

f(7) = 24
