Chapter 1, Problem 9.13(choose chapter or problem)
A random sample of 12 shearing pins is taken in a study of the Rockwell hardness of the pin head. Measurements on the Rockwell hardness are made for each of the 12, yielding an average value of 48.50 with a sample standard deviation of 1.5. Assuming the measurements to be normally distributed, construct a 90% confidence interval for the mean Rockwell hardness.

QUESTION:
A random sample of 12 shearing pins is taken in a study of the Rockwell hardness of the pin head. Measurements on the Rockwell hardness are made for each of the 12, yielding an average value of 48.50 with a sample standard deviation of 1.5. Assuming the measurements to be normally distributed, construct a 90% confidence interval for the mean Rockwell hardness.
ANSWER:Step 1 of 2
Given,
Number shearing pins,
The mean hardness,
The standard deviation of hardness,
We have to construct a 90% confidence interval for the mean Rockwell hardness:
