mean= 11.41 [Excel function used ->
AVERAGE]
sd= 0.05 [Excel function used ->
STDEV]
n= 15.00 [Excel function used ->
COUNT]
alpha= 1%
critical value, t(a/2,n-1) = t(0.01/2,15-1) = 2.977
CI = mean +- t(a/2,n-1)*(sd/sqrt(n))
lower = 11.4129 - 2.977*(0.045/sqrt(15)) = 11.38
upper = 11.4129 + 2.977*(0.045/sqrt(15)) = 11.45
i am 99% confident that estimated population mean rod diameter lie in this interval (11.38, 11.45). Since this interval has all values less than 11.5, i can say that, it is believable that mean rod diameter is less than 11.5.
