Let X equal the amount of fluoride in a certain brand of

Chapter 7, Problem 9E

(choose chapter or problem)

Let \(X\) equal the amount of fluoride in a certain brand of toothpaste. The specifications are \(0.85-\) \(1.10 \mathrm{mg} / \mathrm{g}\). Table 6.1-3  lists \(100 \mathrm{such}\) measurements.

(a) Give a point estimate of the median \(m=\pi_{0.50}\).

(b) Find an approximate \(95 \%\) confidence interval for the median \(m\). If possible, use a computer to find the exact confidence level.

(c) Give a point estimate for the first quartile.

(d) Find an approximate \(95 \%\) confidence interval for the first quartile and, if possible, give the exact confidence coefficient.

(e) Give a point estimate for the third quartile.

(f) Find an approximate \(95 \%\) confidence interval for the third quartile and, if possible, give the exact confidence coefficient.
