Answer 1

The length of a 95% confidence interval for mean Age is 3.72.

Explanation:

The data is provided for the age of 100 adults.

The mean and standard deviation are:

`\bar x=47.8\\\\s=9.3744`

As the sample size is too large the z-interval will be used for the 95% confidence interval for mean.

The critical value of z for 95% confidence level is, z = 1.96.

The length of a confidence interval is given by:

`\text{Length}=2\cdot z_(\alpha/2)\cdot(s)/(√(n))`

`=2* 1.96*(9.3744)/(√(100))\\\\=3.6747648\\\\\approx 3.67\\\\\approx 3.72`

Thus, the length of a 95% confidence interval for mean Age is 3.72.
