Answer with explanation:</h2>
The confidence interval for population mean is given by :-
 (1)
                   (1)
, where  = sample mean
 = sample mean 
z* = critical value.
SE = standard error
and  ,
 ,  = population standard deviation.
 = population standard deviation.
n= sample size.
As per given , we have


n= 15
It is known that ring diameter is normally distributed.
 
 
By z-table ,
The critical value for 95% confidence  = z*= 1.96
A 99% two-sided confidence interval on the true mean piston diameter :
 (using (1))
     (using (1))

 [Rounded to three decimal places]
  [Rounded to three decimal places]
∴  A 99% two-sided confidence interval on the true mean piston diameter  = (74.020, 74.022)
By z-table ,
The critical value for 95% confidence  = z*= 1.96
A 95% lower confidence bound on the true mean piston diameter:
  (using (1))
    (using (1))
 [Rounded to three decimal places]
 [Rounded to three decimal places]
∴  A 95% lower confidence bound on the true mean piston diameter= 74.020
 
        
        
        
B. No, because it fails the vertical line test.
        
             
        
        
        
Given the following question:

Graph the function:
The value of the function of x is infinite as you see the line goes on forever. Which means your answer is option C or "10,000."
 
        
             
        
        
        

Above step we use "Multiplication property of equality"

In the above step we "Simplify on both sides of equation"

In the above step we use "Distribution property"

The above step is the result of using "Subtraction property of equality"

Above step is result of "Combining the like terms"

Above step is the result of using "Division property of equality"

Above step is result of "Simplifying fractions on either side of equation"
