In a metal fabrication​ process, metal rods are produced to a specified target length of 15 feet. Suppose that the lengths are n

ormally distributed. A quality control specialist collects a random sample of 16 rods and finds the sample mean length to be 14.8 feet and a standard deviation of 0.65 feet. What is the​ 95% confidence interval for the true mean length of rods produced by this​ process?

Answer:

95% confidence interval for the true mean length of rods produced by this​ process is [14.45 , 15.15].

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a metal fabrication​ process, metal rods are produced to a specified target length of 15 feet. Suppose that the lengths are normally distributed.

A quality control specialist collects a random sample of 16 rods and finds the sample mean length to be 14.8 feet and a standard deviation of 0.65 feet.

Firstly, the pivotal quantity for 95% confidence interval for the true mean length of rods is given by;

      P.Q. = \frac{\bar X - \mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } } ~ t_n_-_1

where, \bar X = sample mean length = 14.8 feet

             s = sample standard deviation = 0.65 feet

            n = sample of rods = 16

            \mu = true mean

<em>Here for constructing 95% confidence interval we have used t statistics because we don't know about population standard deviation.</em>

So, 95% confidence interval for the population​ mean, \mu is ;

P(-2.131 < t_1_5 < 2.131) = 0.95  {As the critical value of t at 15 degree of

                                               freedom are -2.131 & 2.131 with P = 2.5%}

P(-2.131 < \frac{\bar X - \mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } } < 2.131) = 0.95

P( -2.131 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } } < {\bar X - \mu} < 2.131 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } } ) = 0.95

P( \bar X-2.131 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } } < \mu < \bar X+2.131 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } } ) = 0.95

<u>95% confidence interval for </u>\mu = [ \bar X-2.131 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } } , \bar X+2.131 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } } ]

                                             = [ 14.8-2.131 \times {\frac{0.65}{\sqrt{16} } } , 14.8+2.131 \times {\frac{0.65}{\sqrt{16} } } ]

                                             = [14.45 , 15.15]

Hence, 95% confidence interval for the true mean length of rods produced by this​ process is [14.45 , 15.15].

Answer:

95% Confidence interval: (14.4537 ,15.1463)

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Population mean, μ = 15 feet

Sample mean, \bar{x} = 14.8 feet

Sample size, n = 16

Alpha, α = 0.05

Sample standard deviation, σ = 0.65 feet

Degree of freedom = n - 1 = 15

95% Confidence interval:

\bar{x} \pm t_{critical}\displaystyle\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}  

Putting the values, we get,  

t_{critical}\text{ at degree of freedom 15 and}~\alpha_{0.05} = \pm 2.1314  

14.8 \pm 2.1314(\dfrac{0.65}{\sqrt{16}} ) \\\\= 14.8 \pm 0.3463 = (14.4537 ,15.1463)  

is the required confidence interval for the true mean length of rods.

An arithmetic sequence has a first term of 10 and a sixth term of 40. What is the 20th term of this sequence?
Aleks04 [339]
In An arithmetic sequence will add or subtract the same thing each time to find the next term. In this case we start with 10 and need to get to 40 on the 6th term. This is a difference of 30 that needs to be divided by 5 open spaces. You are adding 6 each time.

10, 16, 22, 28, 34, 40, _,_,_,_, 70, _,_,_,_,100,_,_,_, 124.

Another way to do this would be to look at the 5th term and multiply it by 4 to get to the 20th term. 34 x 4 = 124.
