For a group experiment, your science class measured the fine-particulate concentrations in the air at random places around campus, and estimated a sample average of 22 μg/m3 (micrograms per cubic meter). if 144 readings were taken, and the standard deviation of the sample measurements was 4 μg/m3, you are 99.7% confident that actual concentration of fine particulates at the school is . a=21.3μg/m3 -22.7μg/m3 b=21μg/m3- 23μg/m3 c=18μg/m3-26μg/m3 d=21.7μg/m3-22.3μg/m3

The federal reserve controls certain interest rates in the united states. investors often try to speculate as to whether the federal reserve will raise or lower rates and by how much. suppose a company conducts extensive interviews with financial analysts, and as a result, predicts that "thefed" will increase rates by an average of 0.25 percentage points every six months for the forseeable future. which type of equation could be used to model the predicted interest rates over the next several years, assuming no other significant changes? a) a linear equation b) a quadratic equation c) a polynomial equation d) an exponential equation
