Question

The data set of the diameters of the metal cylinders manufactured an automatic machine has sample size of n=29, mean of x= 49.98 mm and std. of S = 0.14 mm. Expected diameter of metal cylinder is μ = 50.00 mm Can we be 95% confident that machine calibrated properly?

Answer 1

Answer:

we say for  μ = 50.00 mm we be 95% confident that machine calibrated properly with ( 49.926757  ,  50.033243 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

n=29

mean of x = 49.98 mm

S = 0.14 mm

μ = 50.00 mm

Cl = 95%

to find out

Can we be 95% confident that machine calibrated properly

solution

we know from t table

t at 95% and n -1 = 29-1 = 28 is  2.048

so now

Now for  95% CI for mean is

(x - 2.048 × S/√n  ,  x + 2.048 × S/√n )

(49.98 - 2.048 × 0.14/√29  ,  49.98 + 2.048 × 0.14/√29 )

( 49.926757  ,  50.033243 )

hence we say for  μ = 50.00 mm we be 95% confident that machine calibrated properly with ( 49.926757  ,  50.033243 )
