Solution Steps

Step 1: Understanding the Question

The question asks about the maximum size of an object that can change in brightness and fairness on a timescale of seconds. This involves understanding the relationship between the size of an object and the time it takes for light to travel across it.

Step 2: Analyzing the Options
  • a few light seconds across: This means the object is a few light seconds in diameter, which is a reasonable size for changes on a timescale of seconds.
  • it can be any size: This is unlikely because larger objects would take longer for light to travel across, thus changing brightness on a longer timescale.
  • a few kilometers across: This is much smaller than a few light seconds and would change brightness very quickly.
  • a few nd across: This option is unclear and likely a typographical error.
Step 3: Applying the Concept of Light Travel Time

The maximum size of an object that can change brightness on a timescale of seconds is determined by the distance light can travel in that time. Light travels approximately 299,792 kilometers per second. Therefore, an object a few light seconds across would be the correct size.

Final Answer

\(\boxed{\text{a few light seconds across}}\)

(c) We are 90% confident that the interval from 0.52 to 0.64 contains the true proportion of adults in the country during the period of economic uncertainty who believed wages paid to workers in industry were too low. Is the interpretation reasonable? A. The interpretation is reasonable. B. The interpretation is flawed. The interpretation indicates that the level of confidence is varying. C. The interpretation is flawed. The interpretation suggests that this interval sets the standard for all the other intervals, which is not true. D. The interpretation is flawed. The interpretation provides no interval about the population proportion.
