Chapter 5, Problem 17

(choose chapter or problem)

The temperature of a certain solution is estimated by taking a large number of independent measurements and averaging them. The estimate is \(37^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\), and the uncertainty (standard deviation) in this estimate is \(0.1^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\).

Find a 95% confidence interval for the temperature.

What is the confidence level of the interval \(37 \pm 0.1^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)?

If only a small number of independent measurements had been made, what additional assumption  would be necessary in order to compute a confidence interval?  

Making the additional assumption, compute a 95%  confidence interval for the temperature if 10 measurements were made.
