Announcements for 83 upcoming engineering conferences were randomly picked from a stack of IEEE Spectrum magazines. The mean length of the conferences was 3.96 days, with a standard deviation of 1.24 days. Assume the underlying population is normal. 1)In words define the random variables x and x̅ X is the mean length from a sample of 83 engineering conferences and x̅ is the length of an engineering conference. X is the length of an engineering conference and x̅ is the mean length from a sample of 83 engineering conferences. X is the number of engineering conferences and x̅ is the mean number of engineering conferences listed in IEEE spectrum magazine. X is the mean number of engineering conferences listed in IEEE spectrum magazine and x̅ is the number of engineering conferences.

1)In words define the random variables x and x̅
- X is the mean length from a sample of 83 engineering conferences and x̅ is the length of an engineering conference.
- X is the length of an engineering conference and x̅ is the mean length from a sample of 83 engineering conferences.
- X is the number of engineering conferences and x̅ is the mean number of engineering conferences listed in IEEE spectrum magazine.
- X is the mean number of engineering conferences listed in IEEE spectrum magazine and x̅ is the number of engineering conferences.
2)Which distribution should you use for this problem? Explain your choice.
- The student’s t-distribution should be used because the sample mean is smaller than 30.
- The student’s t-distribution should be used because the sample standard deviation is given.
- The standard
normal distribution should be used because the mean is given. - The standard normal distribution should be used because the population standard deviation is known.
3) Construct a 95% confidence interval for the population mean length of engineering conferences.
(I)State the confidence interval. (round your answers two decimal points.)
(__________ , ___________)
(ii)Sketch the graph (round your answers to two decimal places. Enter your a/2 to three decimal places.)
(iii)Calculate the error bound. (round your answers two decimal points.)
