Question

4. The yield of a chemical process is being studied. From previous experience, yield is known to be normally distributed and ? = 5. The past five days of plant operation have resulted in the following yields 90.6, 89.75, 91.2, 89.05, and 90.3. (a) Find a 90% two-sided confidence interval on the true mean yield. (b) Find a 95% lower confidence bound interval on the true mean yield.

Step 1

First, we need to find the sample mean and sample standard deviation. Sample mean (x̄) = (90.6 + 89.75 + 91.2 + 89.05 + 90.3) / 5 = 450.9 / 5 = 90.18 Sample standard deviation (s) = √[(Σ(x - x̄)²) / (n - 1)] = √[((90.6 - 90.18)² + (89.75 - 90.18)² + (91.2 - Show more…
