A palindromic number is a natural number whose reversal is identical to itself. For instance, the numbers: 1, 99, 101, 2112, 44444 are respectively palindromic numbers of 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 digits. How many palindromic numbers between 1000 and 1000 000 are there?

A palindromic number is a natural number whose reversal is identical to itself. We need to find the total number of palindromic numbers between 1000 and 1000000. Now, since 1000000 is itself not a palindromic, so we consider only integers till only 6 digits. Therefore, we need to find the palindromic number of digits 4,5 and 6. First, we find the palindrome of 4 digit. The type of 4 digit palindrome can be written as: a00a,a11a,a22a,...,a99a So there are 9 possibilities of each a. Therefore, there are 9×10=90 palindrome of digit 4. Next, we find the 5 digit palindromes. The form of 5 digit palindrome are ab0ba,ab1ba,ab2ba,...,ab9ba There are 9 possibilities for each a and 10 possibilities for each b. Thus, the total number of palindromes of digit 5 are 9×10×10=900. Finally, the type of the 6 digit palindromes are given as: ab00ba,ab11ba,ab22ba,...,ab99ba There are 9 possibilities for each a and 10 possibilities for each b. Thusm the total number of palindromes of digit 6 are 9×10×10=900 Thus, the total number of palindromic numbers between 1000 and 1000000 are 90+900+900=1890.

Consider a random sample of size n = 31, with sample mean \bar{x}=45.2 and sample standard deviation s = 5.3. Compute 90%, 95%, and 99% confidence int
