Answer: (1500.66,1599.34)

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence interval for population mean:

\overline{x}\pm z^*\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

,where \overline{x} = Sample mean , n= Sample size, z* = critical two tailed z-value , \sigma = population standard deviation.

As per given , we have

n= 16

\sigma = 154 square feet

\overline{x}= 1550 square feet

\alpha= 1-0.80 = 0.20

Critical z-value = z_{\alpha/2}=z_{0.2/2}=z_{0.1}=1.2815

Confidence interval for population mean:

1550\pm (1.2815)\dfrac{154}{\sqrt{16}}\\\\ = 1550\pm (1.2815)\dfrac{154}{4}\\\\= 1550\pm 49.33775\\\\ =(1550-49.33775,\ 1550+49.33775)\\\\\approx (1500.66,\ 1599.34)

Required confidence interval:  (1500.66,1599.34)

Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter = 2l + 2w

48 = 2(18) + 2(w)

48 = 36 + 2w

12 = 2w

w = 6
