What is this interval for the true average porosity of a certain seam of coal samples that is normally distributed with true standard deviation 0.79 if the average porosity for 20 specimens from the seam was 4.85? (If you need to use or –, enter INFINITY or –INFINITY, respectively. Round your answers to four decimal places.)

Compute this 99% interval for the true average stray-load loss ? (watts) for a certain type of induction motor when the line current is held at 10 amps for a speed of 1,500 rpm, when
n = 25
and
x = 58.3.
Assume that stray-load loss is normally distributed with
? = 3.0.
(If you need to use or –, enter INFINITY or –INFINITY, respectively. Round your answers to four decimal places.)You may need to use the appropriate table in the Appendix of Tables to answer this question.
