Answer:
24.6 < μ < 27.2
Step-by-step explanation:
We have that to find our 
level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:
Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of 
.
So it is z with a pvalue of 
, so 
Now, find the margin of error M as such
In which 
is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.
The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 25.9 - 1.3 = 24.6 pounds.
The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 25.9 + 1.3 = 27.2 pounds.
So the correct answer is:
24.6 < μ < 27.2
the standard form for a horizontal ellipse is
X^2/a^2 + y^2/b^2 = 1
Substitute 54 for b and and use (8,18) as the
point to find a
x=8
y=18
8^2/a^2 + 18^2/54^2 =1
64/a^2 + 324/2916 = 1
324/2916 reduces to 1/9
64/a^2 + 1/9 = 1
64/a^2= 1-1/9
64/a^2 = 8/9
64*9/8 = a^2
576/8 = 72
A^2 = 72
A = square root(72) = 8.485
So formula
would be x^2/72 + y^2/2916 =1
