Given Information:  

Number of lithium batteries = n = 16

Mean life of lithium batteries = μ = 645 hours

Standard deviation of lithium batteries = σ = 31 hours

Confidence level = 95%  

Required Information:  

Confidence Interval = ?

Answer:  

CI = 628.5 \: to \: 661.5 \: hours

Step-by-step explanation:  

The confidence interval is given by

CI = \mu \pm t_{\alpha/2} (\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})

Where μ is the mean life of lithium batteries, σ is the standard deviation, n is number of lithium batteries selected, and t is the critical value from the t-table with significance level of

tα/2 = (1 - 0.95) = 0.05/2 = 0.025

and the degree of freedom is

DoF = n - 1 = 16 - 1 = 15

The critical value (tα/2) at 15 DoF is equal to 2.131 (from the t-table)

CI = 645 \pm 2.131(\frac{31}{\sqrt{16}})

CI = 645 \pm 2.131(7.75})

CI = 645 \pm 16.515

CI = 645 - 16.515 \: and \: 645 + 16.515

CI = 628.5 \: to \: 661.5 \: hours

Therefore, the 95% confidence interval is 628.5 to 661.5 hours

What does it mean?

It means that we are 95% confident that the mean life of 16 lithium batteries is within the interval of (628.5 to 661.5 hours)

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>

  1. Substitute in variables [Pythagorean Theorem]:                                          24² + 7² = x²
  2. Evaluate exponents:                                                                                      576 + 49 = x²
  3. Add:                                                                                                                 625 = x²
