In order to meet the specifications of a client, a manufacturer
of widgets needs to make their widgets 1200 mm long. A quality
assurance expert randomly selects 159 widgets and calculates the
mean length to be 1202 mm. If it is known that the population
standard deviation is1.24 mm....
- construct the 95% confidence interval about the population
mean.
- does it seem as though the client's specifications have been
met?
- if we constructed a 99% confidence interval, would the range
between the upper limit and lower limit be wider or narrower? Why
do you think this is so?
