Answer:

The correct option is (C) (2.769, 3.231).

Step-by-step explanation:

The confidence interval for mean when the standard deviation is not known is:

CI=\bar x\pm t_{\alpha/2, (n-1)}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}

Given:

\bar x = 3\\s=0.3\\n=9\\\alpha =1-0.95=0.05

Compute the critical value as follows:

t_{\alpha/2, (n-1)}=t_{0.05/2, (9-1)}=t_{0.025, 8}=2.31

**Use a <em>t</em>-table.

The 95% confidence interval for true mean length of the bolt is:

CI=\bar x\pm t_{\alpha/2, (n-1)}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}\\=3\pm 2.31\times \frac{0.30}{\sqrt{9}}\\ =3\pm 0.231\\=(2.769, 3.231)

Thus, the 95% confidence interval for true mean length of the bolt is (2.769, 3.231).

The correct option is (C).

A printer prints 28 photos in 8 minutes. how many photos does it take to print 35 more photos
svetlana [45]
First, we see how many photos can be printed in a minute. We do know that it can print 28 photos in 8 minutes.

To find how many photos it can print in 1 minute, we divide 28 by 8.

28÷8=3.5 

The printer can print 3.5 photos per minute. 

To see how many minutes it will take to print 35 photos, we divide 35 by 3.5.

35÷3.5=10.

It will take 10 minutes to print 35 photos.

Have a nice day! :)

Zoologists are studying two newly discovered species of insects in a previously unexplored section of rain forest. They estimate
salantis [7]
The population Pa of insect A after t years is given by the equation 
     Pa = 1.3(1-0.038)^t 
while the population Pb of insect B after t years is 
     Pb = 2.1(1-0.046)^t

We equate the above expressions to find the number of years t it will take the two populations to be equal: 
     Pa = Pb
     1.3(1-0.038)^t  = 2.1(1-0.046)^t
     1.3(0.962)^t  = 2.1(0.954)^t
These are the equations that can be used to determine how long it will be before the populations of the two species are equal.

We can now solve for t:
     (0.962)^t / (0.954)^t = 2.1/1.3
     (0.962/0.954)^t = 2.1/1.3
After taking the log of both sides of our equation, number of years t is
     t = log (2.1/1.3) / log (0.962/0.954)
     t = 57 years
Therefore, it will take 57 years for the population of insect A to equal the population of insect B.
