QUESTION:
Using the data from Exercise 8-22 on adhesion without assuming that the standard deviation is known,
(a) Check the assumption of normality by using a normal probability plot.
(b) Find a 95% confidence interval for the mean adhesion.
ANSWER:Step 1 of 4
(a)
The data from Exercise 8-22 on adhesion: 2.69, 5.76, 2.67, 1.62 and 4.12
To check whether the five readings on adhesion are normally distributed. We need to construct a normal probability plot. If the points in the probability plot form a line or lie closer to the line drawn approximately between the 25th and 75th percentile points, then we can say that the data is normally distributed.
