Fission tracks are trails found in uranium-bearing minerals, left by fragments released during fission events. The article "Yo-y

o Tectonics of the Nigde Massif During Wrenching in Central Anatolia" (D. Whitney, P. Umhoefer, et al., Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences, 2008:209-217) reports that fifteen tracks on one rock specimen had an average track length of 13 µm with a standard deviation of 2 µm.
Assuming this to be a random sample from an approximately normal population, find a 99% confidence interval for the mean track length for this rock specimen.

Answer: = ( 11.67, 14.33) µm

Therefore at 99% confidence interval (a,b) = ( 11.67, 14.33) µm

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence interval can be defined as a range of values so defined that there is a specified probability that the value of a parameter lies within it.

The confidence interval of a statistical data can be written as.

x+/-zr/√n

Given that;

Mean track length x = 13 µm

Standard deviation r = 2 µm

Number of samples n = 15

Confidence interval = 99%

z(at 99% confidence) = 2.58

Substituting the values we have;

13+/-2.58(2/√15)

13+/-2.58(0.516397779494)

13+/-1.33

= ( 11.67, 14.33) µm

Therefore at 99% confidence interval (a,b) = ( 11.67, 14.33) µm

The table shows the outputs y, for different inputs ,x
faust18 [17]

Part A: Yes, the data represent a function. The definition of a function is a relation in which no value of x will have two different values of y.

(Every time you plug in 3 as x, you will always get 4 as y; it's ok if you plug in 3 and 5 as x and get the same y, you just can't get two different y's for one x; sorry, it is pretty confusing). None of the numbers in the table repeat, so we can safely say that the relation is a function.

Part B: All we have to do is plug in 11 for x in the function given to find the answer:

In the table, y = 8 when x = 11, but in the function given, y = 34 when x = 11, so the function given is greater.

Part C: To find the answer to C, just plug in 99 for f(x), as it tells you to do:
