We know that
the formula of the <span>the sum of the arithmetic sequence is
Sum=n*(a1+an)/2

n=36
a1=3
a36=?

find a36
an=a1+(n-1)*d

for n=2 a2=9
9=3+(2-1)*d----> 9=3+d----> d=6
so
for n=36
a36=a1+(36-1)*6----> a36=3+35*6----> a36=213

</span>Sum=n*(a1+an)/2-----> 36*[3+213]/2----> 3888

the answer is
3888

Answer:

The 98% confidence interval would be given by (0.326;0.354)

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Notation and definitions

$X=63$ number of people who live within 20 miles of the coast in high hurricane risk counties of eight southern states

$n=6138$ random sample taken

$\hat p=0.34$ estimated proportion of people who live within 20 miles of the coast in high hurricane risk counties of eight southern states

$p$ true population proportion of people who live within 20 miles of the coast in high hurricane risk counties of eight southern states

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The population proportion have the following distribution

$p \sim N(p,\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}})$

2) Confidence interval

In order to find the critical value we need to take in count that we are finding the interval for a proportion, so on this case we need to use the z distribution. Since our interval is at 98% of confidence, our significance level would be given by $\alpha=1-0.98=0.02$ and $\alpha/2 =0.01$ . And the critical value would be given by:
