Question

A random sample of n = 12 four-year-old red pine trees was selected, and the diameter (in inches) of each tree’s main stem was measured. The resulting observations are as follows: 11.3, 10.7, 12.4, 15.2, 10.1, 12.1, 16.2, 10.5, 11.4, 11.0, 10.7, 12.0 Suppose that the diameter distribution is normal. Then the 90th percentile of the diameter distribution is \mu + 1.28\sigma (so 90% of all trees have diameters less than this value). Compute a point estimate for this percentile. (Hint: First compute an estimate of \mu and then use along with the estimate of \sigma )
