Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
The confidence interval for the population mean x can be calculated as:

Where x' is the sample mean, s is the population standard deviation, n is the sample size and
is the z-score that let a proportion of
on the right tail.
is calculated as: 100%-99%=1%
So, 
Finally, replacing the values of x' by 308, s by 17, n by 15 and
by 2.576, we get that the confidence interval is:

For 0 minutes, it would be 0 minutes (obviously)
for 1 minute, it would be 3
for 2 minutes, it would be 6 pages
and finally, 3 minutes, will be 9.
to get the answers, you would just have to add 3, since every minute, nick reads 3 pages.
The work and answer is shown in the image below. Just set the variables and solve.
The answer is a) although they are not independent, since they are less than 5% of the population, they can be treated as independent.
Answer:
I think the answer may be 0.05.

This may be incorrect, but I hope it helps ^-^
