Hey!

Hope this helps...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Okay to answer this question we are assuming ONE major thing, that ALL 3 secretaries are considered "normal secretaries", and that they ALL type 80 words per minute... Now after assuming that, here is some stuff we know...

Each Secretary types 80 words per minute...

We need to find how long it would take them to type 36,000 words...

By knowing this information, we can now proceed to the problem at hand...

80 * 3 = 240 words written (on average) per minute

36,000 / 240 = 150 minutes to write 36,000 words

150 / 60 = 2.5 hours to write 36,000 words

2.5 hours Converts to: 2 hours and 30 minutes

So...

The answer is, It would take 3 secretaries, 2 hours and 30 minutes to write 36,000 words

Give a correct interpretation of a 99% confidence level of 0.328 < μ < 0.486.

stepladder [879]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Lower bound of the population mean is 0.328

Upper bound of the population mean is 0.486

Confidence level is 99%

Therefore, the correct interpolation of the confidence interval is that we are 99% confident that the true value of the population mean is between 0.328 and 0.486
