Ultra high performance concrete (UHPC) is a relatively new construction material that is characterized by strong adhesive properties with other materials. The article "Adhesive Power of Ultra High Performance Concrete from a Thermodynamic Point of View"† described an investigation of the intermolecular forces for UHPC connected to various substrates. The following work of adhesion measurements (in mJ/m2) for UHPC specimens adhered to steel appeared in the article.
107.1 109.5 107.4 106.8 108.1
(A): Calculate a two-sided 95% confidence interval for the true average work of adhesion for UHPC adhered to steel. (Round your answers to two decimal places.)
(__,__) mJ/m2
(B)Predict the resulting work of adhesion value resulting from a single future replication of the experiment by calculating a 95% prediction interval. (Round your answers to two decimal places.)
(___,____) mJ/m2
(C): Calculate an interval for which you can have a high degree of confidence that at least 95% of all UHPC specimens adhered to steel will have work of adhesion values between the limits of the interval. (Round your answers to two decimal places.)
(____,____) mJ/m2
