After 1 move, it reaches 2cm but ends up at 1 cm.
After 2 moves, it reaches 3cm but ends up at 2 cm.
After 3 moves, it reaches 4cm but ends up at 3 cm.
After 4 moves, it reaches 5cm but ends up at 4 cm.
After 5 moves, it reaches 6cm but ends up at 5 cm.
.

.
After 96 moves, it reaches 97cm but ends up at 96 cm.
After 97 moves, it reaches 98 cm but ends up at 97 cm.
After 98 moves, it reaches 99 cm but ends up at 98 cm.
Then, on the 99th move, it climbs up 2 cm, to 100 cm.

The critter has just momentarily reached the 100-cm point
after climbing 99 times.

If the sliding takes no time, then

   Speed = (total distance climbed) / (total time)

               = (99 x 2 cm)  /  (10 minutes)

               =  (198 cm) / (600 sec)

               =    0.33 cm/sec

If the caterpillar goes up 2cm then slips down 1cm, it only got 1 cm
The poor caterpillar had to crawl 3m to get up 1m .

<span>average speed = distance travelled / time taken
</span>average speed = 3m / 10 minutes
average speed = 0.33 m / minutes

or
average speed = (9 x 2 cm)  /  (10 minutes)
average speed =  (198 cm) / (600 sec)
average speed =    0.33 cm/sec

Use technology and the given confidence level and sample data to find the confidence interval for the population mean muμ. Assum
Ronch [10]

Answer:

a.  μ_{95%} = 3 ± 1.8 = [1.2,4.8]

b. The correct answer is option D. No, because the sample size is large enough.

Explanation:

a. The population mean can be determined using a confidence interval which is made up of a point estimate from a given sample and the calculation error margin. Thus:

μ_{95%} = x_±(t*s)/sqrt(n)

where:

μ_{95%} = = is the 95% confidence interval estimate

x_ = mean of the sample = 3

s = standard deviation of the sample = 5.8

n = size of the sample = 41

t = the t statistic for 95% confidence and 40 (n-1) degrees of freedom = 2.021

substituting all the variable, we have:

μ_{95%} = 3 ± (2.021*5.8)/sqrt(41) = 3 ± 1.8 = [1.2,4.8]

b. The correct answer is option D. No, because the sample size is large enough.

Using the the Central Limit Theorem which states that regardless of the distribution shape of the underlying population, a sampling distribution of size which is ≥ 30 is normally distributed.

According to Archimede's principle, a physical object experiences an upthrust due to a difference in pressure between upper and lower  surfaces.

<h3>What is an upthrust?</h3>

An upthrust is also referred to as buoyancy and it can be defined as an upward force which is exerted by a fluid (liquid or gas), so as to oppose the weight of a partially or fully immersed physical object that is floating in it.

Based on scientific information, a physical object experiences an upthrust when it is immersed in a fluid due to a difference in height and pressure between upper (top) and lower (bottom) surfaces.

According to Archimede's principle, there is a higher pressure at the bottom of the physical object due to height, and a lower pressure at the top of the physical object.
