Speed of light In 1882 Michelson measured the speed of light (usually denoted c as in Einsteins famous equation E = mc2). His values are in km/sec and have 299,000 subtracted from them. He reported the results of 23 trials with a mean of 756.22 and a standard deviation of 107.12. a) Find a 95% confidence interval for the true speed of light from these statistics. b) State in words what this interval means. Keep in mind that the speed of light is a physical constant that, as far as we know, has a value that is true throughout the universe. c) What assumptions must you make in order to use your method?
