Answer:

14 : 21

Step-by-step explanation:

---> 2:3 ----> 2+3=5

---> Stick's length = 35 inches

For the first portion

2/5 x 35

2/1 x 7

= 14 inches

For the second portion

3/5 x 35

3/1 x 7

= 21 inches

To confirm: 14 + 21 = 35 inches

14 : 21

Divide both by 7

2 : 3

Answer:

90% confidence interval for the mean grading time of all composition papers.

(12.47981 , 13.52019)

Appropriate inequality

The interval is ( 12.47981 < μ < 13.52019)

Step-by-step explanation:

Explanation:-

Given sample size 'n' = 40

Mean of the sample = 13 minutes

standard deviation = 2 min

level of significance = 0.10 or 90%

90% confidence interval for the mean grading time of all composition papers.

$( x^{-} - Z_{0.1} \frac{S.D}{\sqrt{n} } , x^{-} + Z_{0.10} \frac{S.D}{\sqrt{n} } )$

$( 13 - 1.645 \frac{2}{\sqrt{40} } , 13 +1.645 \frac{2}{\sqrt{40} } )$

( 13 - 0.52019 , 13 + 0.52019)

(12.47981 , 13.52019)

The interval is ( 12.47981 < μ < 13.52019)
