. A standard gold bar weighs exactly 12.4 kg. We have two scales of unknown accuracy and precision. In particular, unknown to us, using Scale #1, measurements of the bar’s weight act like random draws from a N(12.2, 0.05) distribution while, using Scale #2, measurements of the bar’s weight act like random draws from a N(12.4, 0.2) distribution. Using each scale, we take 10 measurements and compute a 95% confidence interval for the true weight of the bar. Neither includes 12.4 kg.

a. What is the best explanation for why the confidence interval based on the Scale #1 measurements does not contain 12.4 kg?

b. What is the best explanation for why the confidence interval based on the Scale #2 measurements does not contain 12.4 kg?

To estimate the mean of a population with unknown distribution shape and unknown standard deviation, we take a random sample of size 64. The sample mean is 22.3 and the sample standard deviation is 8.8. If we wish to compute a 92% confidence interval for the population mean, what will be the t multiplier? (Hint: Use either a Probability Distribution Graph or the Calculator from Minitab.)
