Answer:
a) 22497.7 < μ< 24502.3
b) With 99% confidence the possible error will not exceed 1002.3
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Mean (μ) = 23500 kilometers per year
Standard deviation (σ) = 3900 kilometers
Confidence level (c) = 99% = 0.99
number of samples (n) = 100
a) α = 1 - c = 1 - 0.99 = 0.01
Using normal distribution table, 
is the z value of 1 - 0.005 = 0.995 of the area to the right which is 2.57.
The margin of error (e) is given as:
The 99% confidence interval = (μ - e, μ + e) = (23500 - 1002.3, 23500 + 1002.3) = (22497.7, 24502.3)
Confidence interval = 22497.7 < μ< 24502.3
b) With 99% confidence the possible error will not exceed 1002.3
(3x10^8) x 8 = 2400000000
OR 2.4x10^9
Answer:
a). Distance from the surface of miner elevator=532 feet, Distance from the surface of equipment elevator=60 feet
b). The miner elevator is deeper since it is 472 feet deeper than the equipment elevator
Step-by-step explanation:
Equipment elevator speed=4 feet per second
Miner elevator=14 feet per second
Total time of miner elevator=(23+15)=38 seconds
Total time of equipment elevator=15 seconds
a). Distance from the surface of each elevator
Distance from the surface of miner elevator=Miner Speed×Miner Time
Distance=(14×38)=532 feet
Distance from the surface of equipment elevator=Equipment Speed×Equipment Time
Distance=(15×4)=60 feet
b). Which elevator is deeper
Distance from the surface of miner elevator=532 feet
Distance from the surface of equipment elevator= 60 feet
Difference=(532-60)=472 feet
The miner elevator is deeper since it is 472 feet deeper than the equipment elevator
