A band of 17 pirates stole a sack of gold coins. When they tried to divide the fortune into equal portions, 3 coins remained. In the ensuing brawl over who should get the extra coins, one pirate was killed. The wealth was redistributed, but this time and equal division left 10 coins. Again an argument developed in which another pirate was killed. But now the total fortune was evely distributed among the survivors. What was the least number of coins that could been stolen?

At wind speeds above 1000 centimeters per second (cm/sec), significant sand-moving events begin to occur. wind speeds below 1000 cm/sec deposit sand and wind speeds above 1000 cm/sec move sand to new locations. the cyclic nature of wind and moving sand determines the shape and location of large dunes. at a test site, the prevailing direction of the wind did not change noticeably. however, the velocity did change. fifty-nine wind speed readings gave an average velocity of x = 1075 cm/sec. based on long-term experience, σ can be assumed to be 245 cm/sec. (a) find a 95% confidence interval for the population mean wind speed at this site. (round your answers to the nearest whole number.) lower limit cm/sec upper limit cm/sec
