Step by step solution

01

Define interval

An interval is a set of numbers that includes all the real numbers between the two endpoints of the interval.

02

Explanation

a.A \({\rm{100(1 - \alpha )\% }}\) confidence interval for the mean is supplied when a normal population is specified.

\(\left( {{\rm{\bar x - }}{{\rm{z}}_{{\rm{\alpha /2}}}}{\rm{ \times }}\frac{{\rm{\sigma }}}{{\sqrt {\rm{n}} }}{\rm{,\bar x + }}{{\rm{z}}_{{\rm{\alpha /2}}}}{\rm{ \times }}\frac{{\rm{\sigma }}}{{\sqrt {\rm{n}} }}} \right)\)

when the\({{\rm{\sigma }}^{\rm{2}}}\)value is known.

The following known connection can be used to get the confidence level\({\rm{100(1 - \alpha )\% }}\).

\({{\rm{z}}_{{\rm{\alpha /2}}}}{\rm{ = 2}}{\rm{.81}}\)

There are a few different approaches to compute the confidence level, as shown in the diagram below. The area of\({\rm{1 - \alpha }}\)is denoted by the red\({\rm{X}}\). The area to the right of\({{\rm{z}}_{{\rm{\alpha /2}}}}\)(the probability to the right) is\({\rm{\alpha /2}}\), as is the region to the left of\({\rm{ - }}{{\rm{z}}_{{\rm{\alpha /2}}}}\).

The first step is to locate\({\rm{\alpha }}\). Because the probability to the right of\({{\rm{z}}_{{\rm{\alpha /2}}}}\)is\({\rm{\alpha /2}}\)and the population is normally distributed,\({\rm{\alpha /2}}\)can be calculated as the probability previously mentioned.

\(\begin{array}{c}\frac{{\rm{\alpha }}}{{\rm{2}}}{\rm{ = P}}\left( {{\rm{Z > }}{{\rm{z}}_{{\rm{\alpha /2}}}}} \right)\\{\rm{ = 1 - P}}\left( {{\rm{Z}} \le {{\rm{z}}_{{\rm{\alpha /2}}}}} \right)\\{\rm{ = 1 - \Phi (2}}{\rm{.81)}}\end{array}\)

\({\rm{(1)1 - 0}}{\rm{.9975 = 0}}{\rm{.0025}}\)

  1. : From the appendix's normal probability table. A software can also be used to calculate the probability.

Therefore,

\(\begin{array}{c}{\rm{\alpha = 2 \times 0}}{\rm{.0025}}\\{\rm{ = 0}}{\rm{.005}}\end{array}\)

and the level of confidence is,

\(\begin{array}{c}{\rm{100(1 - \alpha )\% = 100(1 - 0}}{\rm{.005)}}\\{\rm{ = 99}}{\rm{.5\% }}\end{array}\)

03

Explanation

a.The following known connection can be used to get the confidence level \({\rm{100(1 - \alpha )\% }}\).

\({{\rm{z}}_{{\rm{\alpha /2}}}}{\rm{ = 1}}{\rm{.44}}\)

There are a few different approaches to compute the confidence level, as shown in the diagram below. The area of\({\rm{1 - \alpha }}\)is denoted by the blue shade. The area to the right of\({{\rm{z}}_{{\rm{\alpha /2}}}}\)(the probability to the right) is\({\rm{\alpha /2}}\), as is the region to the left of\({\rm{ - }}{{\rm{z}}_{{\rm{\alpha /2}}}}\).

The first step is to locate\({\rm{\alpha }}\). Because the probability to the right of\({{\rm{z}}_{{\rm{\alpha /2}}}}\)is\({\rm{\alpha /2}}\)and the population is normally distributed,\({\rm{\alpha /2}}\)can be calculated as the probability previously mentioned.

\(\begin{array}{c}\frac{{\rm{\alpha }}}{{\rm{2}}}{\rm{ = P}}\left( {{\rm{Z > }}{{\rm{z}}_{{\rm{\alpha /2}}}}} \right)\\{\rm{ = 1 - P}}\left( {{\rm{Z}} \le {{\rm{z}}_{{\rm{\alpha /2}}}}} \right)\\{\rm{ = 1 - \Phi (1}}{\rm{.44)}}\end{array}\)

\({\rm{(1)1 - 0}}{\rm{.925 = 0}}{\rm{.075}}\)

  1. : From the appendix's normal probability table. A software can also be used to calculate the probability.

Therefore,

\(\begin{array}{c}{\rm{\alpha = 2 \times 0}}{\rm{.075}}\\{\rm{ = 0}}{\rm{.15}}\end{array}\)

and the level of confidence is,

\(\begin{array}{c}{\rm{100(1 - \alpha )\% = 100(1 - 0}}{\rm{.15)}}\\{\rm{ = 85\% }}\end{array}\)

04

Explanation

c. Because the confidence level is \({\rm{99}}{\rm{.7\% }}\), the \ ({\rm{\alpha }}\) may be found from the following relationship.

\({\rm{100(1 - \alpha ) = 99}}{\rm{.7}}\)

This suggests that

\({\rm{\alpha = 0}}{\rm{.003}}{\rm{.}}\)

The point on the diagram below is the value of\({{\rm{z}}_{{\rm{\alpha /2}}}}{\rm{ = }}{{\rm{z}}_{{{\rm{\alpha }}_{{\rm{0}}{\rm{.0015}}}}}}\). The region (probability) to the right of the value is\({\rm{\alpha /2 = 0}}{\rm{.0015}}\).

Therefore,

\({\rm{P}}\left( {{\rm{Z > }}{{\rm{z}}_{{\rm{0}}{\rm{.0015}}}}} \right){\rm{ = 0}}{\rm{.0015}}\)

and

\(\begin{array}{c}{\rm{P}}\left( {{\rm{Z > }}{{\rm{z}}_{{\rm{0}}{\rm{.0015}}}}} \right){\rm{ = 1 - P}}\left( {{\rm{Z}} \le {{\rm{z}}_{{\rm{0}}{\rm{.0015}}}}} \right)\\{\rm{ = 1 - \Phi }}\left( {{{\rm{z}}_{{\rm{0}}{\rm{.0015}}}}} \right)\end{array}\)

suggest that

\(\begin{array}{c}{\rm{1 - \Phi }}\left( {{{\rm{z}}_{{\rm{0}}{\rm{.0015}}}}} \right){\rm{ = 0}}{\rm{.0015}}\\{\rm{\Phi }}\left( {{{\rm{z}}_{{\rm{0}}{\rm{.0015}}}}} \right){\rm{ = 0}}{\rm{.9985}}\end{array}\)

So, because darkened area (blue) is nearly\({\rm{1}}\), almost everything is blue. It can be seen from the normal probability table in the appendix that

\({{\rm{z}}_{{\rm{0}}{\rm{.0015}}}}{\rm{ = 2}}{\rm{.96}}\)

calculates the probability,

\({\rm{\Phi }}\left( {{{\rm{z}}_{{\rm{0}}{\rm{.0015}}}}} \right){\rm{ = 0}}{\rm{.9985}}\)

Therefore, the value is \({\rm{2}}{\rm{.96}}\).

05

Explanation

d. Because the confidence level is \({\rm{75\% }}\), the\({\rm{\alpha }}\) may be found from the following relationship.

\({\rm{100(1 - \alpha ) = 75}}\)

This suggests that

\({\rm{\alpha = 0}}{\rm{.25}}\)

The point on the diagram below is the value of\({{\rm{z}}_{{\rm{\alpha /2}}}}{\rm{ = }}{{\rm{z}}_{{{\rm{\alpha }}_{{\rm{0}}{\rm{.125}}}}}}\). The region (probability) to the right of the value is\({\rm{\alpha /2 = 0}}{\rm{.125}}\).

Therefore,

\({\rm{P}}\left( {{\rm{Z > }}{{\rm{z}}_{{\rm{0}}{\rm{.125}}}}} \right){\rm{ = 0}}{\rm{.125}}\)

and

\(\begin{array}{c}{\rm{P}}\left( {{\rm{Z > }}{{\rm{z}}_{{\rm{0}}{\rm{.125}}}}} \right){\rm{ = 1 - P}}\left( {{\rm{Z}} \le {{\rm{z}}_{{\rm{0}}{\rm{.125}}}}} \right)\\{\rm{ = 1 - \Phi }}\left( {{{\rm{z}}_{{\rm{0}}{\rm{.125}}}}} \right)\end{array}\)

suggest that

\(\begin{array}{c}{\rm{1 - \Phi }}\left( {{{\rm{z}}_{{\rm{0}}{\rm{.125}}}}} \right){\rm{ = 0}}{\rm{.125}}\\{\rm{\Phi }}\left( {{{\rm{z}}_{{\rm{0}}{\rm{.125}}}}} \right){\rm{ = 0}}{\rm{.875}}\end{array}\)

So, because darkened area (blue) is\({\rm{0}}{\rm{.875}}\), almost everything is blue. It can be seen from the normal probability table in the appendix that

\({{\rm{z}}_{{\rm{0}}{\rm{.125}}}}{\rm{ = 1}}{\rm{.15}}\)

calculates the probability,

\({\rm{\Phi }}\left( {{{\rm{z}}_{{{\rm{\alpha }}_{{\rm{0}}{\rm{.125}}}}}}} \right){\rm{ = 0}}{\rm{.875}}\)

Therefore, the value is \({\rm{1}}{\rm{.15}}\).

Each of the following is a confidence interval for \({\rm{\mu = }}\) true average (i.e., population mean) resonance frequency (Hz) for all tennis rackets of a certain type: \({\rm{(114}}{\rm{.4,115}}{\rm{.6)(114}}{\rm{.1,115}}{\rm{.9)}}\) a. What is the value of the sample mean resonance frequency? b. Both intervals were calculated from the same sample data. The confidence level for one of these intervals is \({\rm{90\% }}\) and for the other is \({\rm{99\% }}\). Which of the intervals has the \({\rm{90\% }}\) confidence level, and why?

Wire electrical-discharge machining (WEDM) is a process used to manufacture conductive hard metal components. It uses a continuously moving wire that serves as an electrode. Coating on the wire electrode allows for

cooling of the wire electrode core and provides an improved cutting performance. The article 鈥淗ighPerformance Wire Electrodes for Wire ElectricalDischarge Machining鈥擜 Review鈥 gave the following sample observations on total coating layer thickness (in mm) of eight wire electrodes used for

WEDM: \({\rm{21 16 29 35 42 24 24 25}}\)

Calculate a \({\rm{99\% }}\)CI for the standard deviation of the coating layer thickness distribution. Is this interval valid whatever the nature of the distribution? Explain.

The technology underlying hip replacements has changed as these operations have become more popular . Starting in 2003, highly durable ceramic hips were marketed. Unfortunately, for too many patients the increased durability has been counterbalanced by an increased incidence of squeaking. The May 11, 2008, issue of the New York Times reported that in one study of 143 individuals who received ceramic hips between 2003 and 2005, 10 of the hips developed squeaking.

a. Calculate a lower confidence bound at the \({\rm{95\% }}\)confidence level for the true proportion of such hips that develop squeaking.

b. Interpret the \({\rm{95\% }}\)confidence level used in (a).

Assume that the helium porosity (in percentage) of coal samples taken from any particular seam is normally distributed with true standard deviation .75.

a. Compute a 95% CI for the true average porosity of a certain seam if the average porosity for 20 specimens from the seam was 4.85.

b. Compute a 98% CI for true average porosity of another seam based on 16 specimens with a sample average porosity of 4.56.

c. How large a sample size is necessary if the width of the 95% interval is to be .40?

d. What sample size is necessary to estimate true average porosity to within .2 with 99% confidence?
