Past experience has indicated that the breaking strength of yarn used in manufacturing drapery material is normally distributed

and that σ = 4 psi. A random sample of 11 specimens is tested, and the average breaking strength is found to be 97 psi. Find a 95% two-sided confidence interval on the true mean breaking strength. Round the answers to 1 decimal place.

Answer:

95% two-sided confidence interval on the true mean breaking strength is (94.8cm, 99.2cm)

Step-by-step explanation:

Our sample size is 11.

The first step to solve this problem is finding our degrees of freedom, that is, the sample size subtracted by 1. So

df = 11-1 = 10.

Then, we need to subtract one by the confidence level \alpha and divide by 2. So:

\frac{1-0.95}{2} = \frac{0.05}{2} = 0.025

Now, we need our answers from both steps above to find a value T in the t-distribution table. So, with 10 and 0.025 in the two-sided t-distribution table, we have T = 1.812

Now, we find the standard deviation of the sample. This is the division of the standard deviation by the square root of the sample size. So

s = \frac{4}{\sqrt{11}} = 1.2060

Now, we multiply T and s

M = Ts = 1.812*1.2060 = 2.19/tex]For the lower end of the interval, we subtract the sample mean by M. So the lower end of the interval here is[tex]L = 97 - 2.19 = 94.81 = 94.8cm

For the upper end of the interval, we add the sample mean and M. So the upper end of the interval here is

L = 97 + 2.19 = 99.19 = 99.2cm

So

95% two-sided confidence interval on the true mean breaking strength is (94.8cm, 99.2cm).

Solnce55 [7]
If so, start by factoring the numerator. Then cancel any common term in the numerator and denominator. If you end up with no denominator, then use the original denominator. Set it equal to zero and solve for x. That value of x will be the restriction.
