A machine produces metal rods used in an automobile suspension system. A random sample of 15
rods is selected, and the diameter is measured. The resulting data (in millimeters) are as follows:
8.20 8.25 8.18 8.25 8.22 8.20 8.28 8.28 8.18 8.24 8.25 8.25 8.17 8.26 8.22
First we need to find the mean and SD of data:
Descriptive statistics | |
X | |
count | 15 |
mean | 8.2287 |
sample standard deviation | 0.0360 |
sample variance | 0.0013 |
minimum | 8.17 |
maximum | 8.28 |
range | 0.11 |
So we have
Since there 15 data values in the sample so degree of freedom is df=15-1=14 and critical value of t for 99% confidence interval, using excel function "=TINV(0.01,14)" is 2.977.
The 99% prediction interval is
-------------------------
The 99% CI is
Prediction interval is wider.
