A mortgage firm estimates the true mean current debt of local homeowners, using the current outstanding balance of a random sample of 35 homeowners. They find a 95% confidence interval for the true mean current debt to be ($56,000, $120,000). Which of the following would correctly produce a confidence interval with a smaller margin of error than this 95% confidence interval? a) Using the balances of older homeowners because they will have paid off more of their mortgage
b) Using the balances of 50 homeowners rather than 35, because using more data gives a smaller margin of error
c) Using the balances of only fifteen homeowners rather than 35, because there is likely to be less variation in fifteen balances than 35
d) Using 99% confidence, because then its more likely that the true mean is contained in the confidence interval

D. 3

Step-by-step explanation:

A triangle can be defined as a two-dimensional shape that comprises three (3) sides, three (3) vertices and three (3) angles.

Simply stated, any polygon with three (3) lengths of sides is a triangle.

In Geometry, a triangle is considered to be the most important shape.

Generally, there are three (3) main types of triangle based on the length of their sides and these include;

I. Equilateral triangle: it has all of its three (3) sides and interior angles equal.

II. Isosceles triangle: it has two (2) of its sides equal in length and two (2) equal angles.

III. Scalene triangle: it has all of its three (3) sides and interior angles different in length and size respectively.

In Geometry, an acute angle can be defined as any angle that has its size less than ninety (90) degrees.

Hence, we can deduce that the greatest number of acute angles that a triangle can contain is three (3) because the sum of all the interior angles of a triangle is 180 degrees.
