QUESTION:
Refer to Exercise 9.
a. Find a 90% upper confidence bound for the mean weight.
b. Someone says that the mean weight is less than 1.585 g. With what level of confidence can this statement be made?
ANSWER:
Solution 16E
Step1 of 3:
Let us consider a random variable X it represents the weight of the penny nail. Here random variable X follows normal distribution with mean standard deviation
and
n = 80.
That is
The probability density function of normal distribution is given by
,
.
Where,
x = random variable
= mean of X
= variance of X
= standard deviation os X
= mathematical constant and its value is 3.14
Here our goal is:
a). We need to find a 90% upper confidence bound for the mean weight.
b). We need to find level of confidence can this statement be made by taking the mean weight is less than 1.585 g.
Step2 of 3:
a).
