A precision control engineer is interested in the mean length of tubing being cut automatically by machine.It is known that the standard deviation in the cutting length is 0.15 feet.A sample of 60 cut tubes yields a mean length of 12.15 feet.This sample will be used to obtain a 99% confidence interval for the mean length cut by machine.
a.What is the zα / 2 value to use in obtaining the confidence interval?
b.Develop the 99% confidence interval for μ.
Precision Control
The ability to maintain a very high level of accuracy and consistency in a process or measurement.
Confidence Interval
A scale of values, originating from sample statistical analysis, projected to house the value of an undetermined population parameter.
- Identify the confidence intervals for the population mean, given different confidence levels, sample sizes, and population standard deviations.
- Explain the significance of the standard error and its role in the calculation of confidence intervals.
