ii) A pollution study of areas in Delhi found the following amount of PM2.5 (measured
in ppm) in 5 different samples from various areas in Delhi
0.22, 0.27, 0.32, 0.33 and 0.36
Assuming that the population sampled is normal, construct a 90% confidence interval
for the true mean level of PM2.5 in Delhi.
iii) On the average, a certain computer part lasts ten years. The length of time the
computer part lasts is exponentially distributed.
a) What is the probability that a computer part lasts more than 7 years?
b) On the average, how long would five computer parts last if they are used one
after another?
iv)For a given
preferred to a 95% level? Why or why not?
