1- what do you think the product of a nonzero rational number and an irrational number is? is it rational or irrational? make use of variables, the closure property of integers, and possibly a proof by contradiction to prove your hypothesis.2- why do we have to specify that the rational number must be nonzero when we determine what the product of a nonzero rational number and an irrational number is? if the rational number were 0, would it give us the same result we found in the first question?

Arandom sample of 15 observations is used to estimate the population mean. the sample mean and the standard deviation are calculated as 172 and 63, respectively. assume that the population is normally distributed. a. with 99 confidence, what is the margin of error for the estimation of the population mean? b. construct the 99% confidence interval for the population mean. c. construct the 95% confidence interval for the population mean. d. construct the 83% confidence interval for the population mean. hint: you need to use excel function =t.inv.2t to find the value of t for the interval calculation.
