A researcher has noted that the repair times of a sample of 15 new lawn mowers has a standard deviation of 4 minutes. A 95% confidence interval estimate for the variance of service times for all its new lawn mowers is: a) 8.58 to 39.79
b) 1.64 to 1.96
c) 4 to 16
d) 4 to 15

Abucket of paint has spilled on a tile floor. the paint flow can be expressed with the function p(t) = 6(t), where t represents time in minutes and p represents how far the paint is spreading. the flowing paint is creating a circular pattern on the tile. the area of the pattern can be expressed as a(p) = 3.14(p)^2 part a: find the area of the circle of spilled paint as a function of time, or a[p(t)]. show your work. part b: how large is the area of spilled paint after 8 minutes? you may use 3.14 to approximate pi in this problem.
