The manager of a paint supply store wants to estimate the actual amount of paint contained in 1​-gallon cans purchased from a na

tionally known manufacturer. The​ manufacturer's specifications state that the standard deviation of the amount of paint is equal to 0.02 gallon. A random sample of 50 cans is​ selected, and the sample mean amount of paint per 1​-gallon can is 0.998 gallon. Complete parts​ (a) through​ (d).
a. Construct a 95​% confidence interval estimate for the population mean amount of paint included in a​ 1-gallon can.

b. On the basis of these​ results, do you think the manager has a right to complain to the​ manufacturer? Why?

___because a​ 1-gallon paint can containing exactly​ 1-gallon of paint lies _____the 95​% confidence interval.

c. Must you assume that the population amount of paint per can is normally distributed​ here? Explain.

d. Construct a 90​% confidence interval estimate. How does this change your answer to part​ (b)?

How does this change your answer to part​ (b)?

A​ 1-gallon paint can containing exactly​ 1-gallon of paint lies ____the 90​% confidence interval. The manager _______a right to complain to the manufacturer.

Answer:

a. 95​% confidence interval estimate for the population mean amount of paint included in a​ 1-gallon can is 0.998±0.0055

b.  <u>No,</u> because a​ 1-gallon paint can containing exactly​ 1-gallon of paint lies <u>within</u> the 95​% confidence interval.

c. Yes.  The population amount of paint per can is assumed normally distributed, because confidence interval calculations assume normal distribution of the parameter.

d. 90% confidence interval is 0.998±0.0046. ​The answer in b. didn't change; 1-gallon paint can containing exactly​ 1-gallon of paint lies <u>within</u> the 90​% confidence interval. The manager <u>doesn't have</u> a right to complain to the manufacturer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence Interval can be calculated using M±ME where

M is the sample mean amount of paint per 1​-gallon can (0.998 gallon)

ME is the margin of error from the mean

And margin of error (ME) can be calculated using the equation

ME=\frac{z*s}{\sqrt{N} } where

  • z is the corresponding statistic in the 95% confidence level (1.96)
  • s is the sample standard deviation (0.02 gallon)
  • N is the sample size (50)

Then ME=\frac{1.96*0.02}{\sqrt{50} }≈0.0055

95% confidence interval is 0.998±0.0055

90% confidence interval can be calculated similary, only z statistic is 1.64.

ME=\frac{1.64*0.02}{\sqrt{50} }  ≈0.0046

90% confidence interval is 0.998±0.0046

Serhud [2]

Answer:

b. n

d. 2^lgn

c. n^2.1

a. 4^2lgn

Step-by-step explanation:

Logarithm is a function of mathematics which is used to calculate inverse function of exponents. The asymptotically smallest function will be the one that has smallest or no exponents. The exponent function is calculated in reverse when log is applied. The function with highest exponents will be largest asymptotically.
