Answer:

20 comic books

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us first set up a variable, x, for the number of books that Zoe has. If Jared has 12 more comics than Zoe, he would have x+12 books.

Given that Zoe and Jared have a total of 28 comic books, let us write an equation and solve for x:

$x+x+12=28\\2x+12=28$

Now that we have a simplified version of the equation, let us solve for x by isolating the variable on the left side:

$2x=28-12\\2x=16\\x=8$

We now know that x=8, and also that Jared has x+12 books. To find the number of comic books Jared has, let us add 12 to x:

$x+12=\\8+12=\\20\\$

Therefore, Jared has 20 comic books.

I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any further questions :)

Answer:

The answer is false

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample above 30 obs like this the confidence interval is defined as

X+- t* (s/sqrt(n)) where X is the mean t the tvalue for a given confidence level, n the size of sample and s standar deviation.

To find de appropiate value of t we must see the T table where rows are degrees of freedom and columns significance level

The significance is obtained:

significance = 1 - confidence level = 1 - 0.9 = 0.10

Degrees of freedom (df) for the inteval are

df = n - 1 = 18 - 1 = 17

So we must look for the value of a t with 17 values and significance of 0.10 which in t table is 1.740 not 1.746 ( thats the t for 16 df)
