Asilkworm winds its cocoon out of one long silk fiber. to make silk thread, 3 to 10 of these silk fibers are unwound from their cocoons and combined into aa single thread with a typical length of 300 yards. choose a reasonable number of silk fibers in a thread write an equation to find the total length of the silk fibersused in 300 yards of the thread

Afactory makes propeller drive shafts for ships. a quality assurance engineer at the factory needs to estimate the true mean length of the shafts. she randomly selects four drive shafts made at the factory, measures their lengths, and finds their sample mean to be 1000 mm. the lengths are known to follow a normal distribution whose standard deviation is 2 mm. calculate a 95% confidence interval for the true mean length of the shafts. input your answers for the margin of error, lower bound, and upper bound.
