Solution

failed
failed
Answer

The answer is compound.

Explanation
Option 1: Complex

A complex sentence contains one independent clause and at least one dependent clause. The given sentence does not fit this structure as it contains two independent clauses.

Option 2: Compound-Complex

A compound-complex sentence contains at least two independent clauses and one or more dependent clauses. The given sentence does not have any dependent clauses, so it does not fit this structure.

Option 3: Simple

A simple sentence contains only one independent clause. The given sentence has two independent clauses, so it is not a simple sentence.

Option 4: Compound

A compound sentence contains at least two independent clauses joined by a coordinating conjunction (such as "and," "but," "or"). The given sentence has two independent clauses ("Genetic modification makes pest-resistant corn" and "genetically modified corn may be unhealthy") joined by the conjunction "but," making it a compound sentence.

In a random sample of four mobile devices, the mean repair cost was 90.00 and the standard deviation was 11.50. Assume the population is normally distributed and use a t-distribution to find the margin of error and construct a 99% confidence interval for the population mean. Interpret the results. The 99% confidence interval for the population mean μ is (56.41,123.59). (Round to two decimal places as needed.) The margin of error is (Round to two decimal places as needed.)
