In a manufacturing process a random sample of 9 bolts manufactured has a mean length of 3 inches with a variance of .09. What is the 90% confidence interval for the true mean length of the bolt?
A. 2.8355 to 3.1645
B. 2.5065 to 3.4935
C. 2.8140 to 3.1860
D. 2.4420 to 3.5580
E. 2.9442 to 3.0558
Homework Answers
Solution :
Given that,
t
/2,df = 1.860
Margin of error = E = t/2,df
* (s /
n)
= 1.860 * (0.3 /
9)
Margin of error = E = 0.186
The 90% confidence interval estimate of the population mean is,
- E < 
<
+ E
3 - 0.186 <
< 3 + 0.186
2.8140 <
< 3.1860
(2.8140 , 3.1860)
option C. is correct

A manufacturing process is designed to produce bolts with a 0.5-inch diameter. Once each day, a random sample of 36 bolts is selected and the bolt diameters recorded. If the resulting sample mean is less than 0.490 inches or greater than 0.510 inches, the process is shut down for adjustment. The standard deviation for diameter is 0.02 inches. What is the probability that the manufacturing line will be shut down unnecessarily? (Hint: Find...

A random sample of 400 bolts from machine A contained 36 defective bolts, while an independently chosen, random sample of 325 bolts from machine 8 contained 26 defective bolts. Let p1 be the proportion of the population of all bolt from machine A that are defective, and let p2 be the proportion of the population of all bolts from machine B that are defective. Find a 95% confidenceinterval for Pi-P2. Then complete the table below. Carry your intermediate computations to...

9. A simple random sample of 37 weights of pennies made after 1983 has a sample mean of 2.4991 g and a known population standard deviation of 0.0165 g. a. Construct a 99% confidence interval estimate of the mean weight of all such pennies. b. Design specifications require a population mean of 2.5 g. What does the confidence interval suggest about the manufacturing process? 10. A random sample of 40 students has a mean annual earnings of $3120 and a...
