The images formed are,

a. Real

b. Virtual - Since the flat mirror has it's focus at infinite behind the object, the image in a flat rear view mirror is virtual.

c. Virtual - This is because of the geometry of how the light rays bounce off of convex surface and it forms virtual image.

A psychologist is studying smokers' self-images, which she measures by the self-image (SI) score from a personality inventory. For adults in the U.S., the mean SI score from this inventory is about 145 . The psychologist gathers a random sample of 17 SI scores of smokers and finds that their mean is 126 and their standard deviation is 34 . Assume that the population of SI scores of smokers is normally distributed with mean μ . Based on the sample,...
