Answer: The 95% confidence interval is approximately (55.57, 58.43)

======================================================

Explanation:

At 95% confidence, the z critical value is about z = 1.960 which you find using a table or a calculator.

The sample size is n = 17

The sample mean is xbar = 57

The population standard deviation is sigma = 3

The lower bound of the confidence interval is

L = xbar - z*sigma/sqrt(n)

L = 57 - 1.960*3/sqrt(17)

L = 55.5738905247863

L = 55.57

The upper bound is

U = xbar + z*sigma/sqrt(n)

U = 57 + 1.960*3/sqrt(17)

U = 58.4261094752137

U = 58.43

Therefore the confidence interval (L, U) turns into (55.57, 58.43) which is approximate.

Suppose you are given information about a triangle according to SSS, SAS, and ASA. For which of these can you immediately use th
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

SSS and SAS

Step-by-step explanation:

Law of cosines: The law of cosines is used for calculating one side of a triangle when the angle opposite and the other two sides are known.

If the information about a triangle according to SSS, SAS and ASA is given, then we will immediately use SSS and SAS  by using the law of cosines to find one of the remaining measures because Law of cosines is applied if we know one angle opposite and the other two sides.

Also, in ASA, we know two angles and one side, thus we cannot use Law of cosines in this, rather Law of sines can be accurately use in this case.

if you have two sides, encroaching an angle, then the Law of Cosines can be used to find a missing side, thus SAS will work fine for that, now, if you have no angles given, but you know all sides, you can use the Law of Cosines as well, by solving it for the angle, and get the angles, on which case, SSS will do... .now as far as ASA, if you have two angles and one side known, then... that's not very workable for the law of cosines

please mark me brainliest :)
