A company that produces computers recently tested the battery in its latest laptop in six separate trials. The battery lasted 8.

23,7.89,8.14,8.25,8.30, and 7.95 hours before burning out in each of the tests. Assuming the battery duration is normally distributed, construct a 95% confidence interval for the mean battery life in the new model. Multiple Choice [7.9490, 8.3044] [7.9575, 8.2959] [7.9873, 8.2661] [7.9912, 8.2622]

confidence interval for the mean battery life in the new model is [7.9489, 8.3045].

What is confidence interval ?

A confidence interval, in statistics, refers to the chance that a population parameter can fall between a collection of values for an exact proportion of times.

Main body:

Formula for confidence interval is =

CI = x- bar ± z*s/√n where,

CI = confidence interval

x- bar = sample mean

z = confidence level value

{s} = sample standard deviation

{n} = sample size

given ;

n = 6

mean = (8.23+7.89+8.14+8.25+8.30+ 7.95)/6

= 8.127
