Porosity% | Mean diameter(mm) | |
A | 18 | 12 |
B | 18.3 | 9.7 |
C | 16.3 | 7.3 |
D | 6.9 | 5.3 |
E | 17.1 | 10.9 |
F | 20.4 | 16.8 |
a) Produce a graph containing the confidence intervals for the mean and prediction intervals for new observations
b) Interpret both intervals for a mean pore diameter of 15 micrometers
(a) The confidence intervals for the mean and prediction intervals for new observations are:
