Chapter 8: Q. R8.5 (page 548)

Engine parts A random sample of 16 of the more than 200auto engine crankshafts produced in one day was selected. Here are measurements (in millimeters) of a critical component on these crankshafts:

a. Construct and interpret a 95%confidence interval for the mean length of this component on all the crankshafts produced on that day.

b. The mean length is supposed to be 渭=224mm but can drift away from this target during production. Does your interval from part (a) suggest that the mean has drifted from 224mm? Explain your answer.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Part a) The confidence interval is (223.971,224.0.33)

Part b) No, it has not drifted from24mm

Step by step solution

01

Part a) Step 1: Given information

The data set is

02

Part a) Step 2: The objective is to find out the 95%confidence interval for the mean length of the component.

We know,

The formula to compute the t- confidence interval for the population mean is:

CI=x炉卤t伪/2,df脳sn

Because the population standard deviation is unknown, the t-confidence interval should be used.

The obtained excel output is:

Therefore, the required confidence interval is(223.971,224.033)

03

Part b) Step 1: The objective is to explain whether the mean has drifted from 224 mm 

The confidence interval is known from the preceding(223.971,224.033) Since the upper limit is224.033, which is greater than224. As a result, the mean cannot be said to have deviated from 224mm

Most people can roll their tongues, but many can鈥檛. The ability to roll the tongue is

genetically determined. Suppose we are interested in determining what proportion of students can roll their tongues. We test a simple random sample of 400students and find that 317can roll their tongues. The margin of error for a 95%confidence interval for the true proportion of tongue rollers among students is closest to which of the following?

a. 0.0008

b. 0.02

c. 0.03

d. 0.04

e. 0.05

Weeds among the corn Velvetleaf is a particularly annoying weed in cornfields. It produces lots of seeds, and the seeds wait in the soil for years until conditions are right for sprouting. How many seeds do velvetleaf plants produce? The histogram shows the counts from a random sample of 28plants that came up in a cornfield

when no herbicide was used. Determine if the Normal/Large Sample condition is met in this context.

Good wood? A lab supply company sells pieces of Douglas fir 4 inches long and

1.5 inches square for force experiments in science classes. From experience, the strength of these pieces of wood follows a distribution with standard deviation 3000 pounds. You want to estimate the mean load needed to pull apart these pieces of wood to within 1000 pounds with 95% confidence. How large a sample is needed?

More prayer in school Refer to Exercise 5. Interpret the confidence level.

Shoes The AP Statistics class in Exercise 1 also asked an SRS of 20boys at their school how many pairs of shoes they have. A 95%confidence interval for 渭G-渭B=the true difference in the mean number of pairs of shoes for girls and

boys is 10.9to26.5.

a. Interpret the confidence interval.

b. Does the confidence interval give convincing evidence of a difference in the true mean number of pairs of shoes for boys and girls at the school? Explain your answer.
