An article contained the following observations on degree of polymerization for paper specimens for which viscosity times concentration fell in a certain middle range:
415 | 421 | 422 | 422 | 425 | 427 | 430 | 435 | 436 |
439 | 446 | 446 | 448 | 453 | 457 | 462 | 464 |
(a) Construct a boxplot of the data.
Comment on any interesting features. (Select all that apply.)
The data appears to be centered near 428.There are no outliers.The data appears to be centered near 438.There is one outlier.There is little or no skew.The data is strongly skewed.
(b) Is it plausible that the given sample observations were
selected from a normal distribution?
YesNo
(c) Calculate a two-sided 95% confidence interval for true average
degree of polymerization. (Round your answers to two decimal
places.)
,
Does the interval suggest that 443 is a plausible value for true
average degree of polymerization?
YesNo
Does the interval suggest that 450 is a plausible value?
YesNo
