I am confused about how to find the confidence interval (at the 90% level) of the remaining data points on part C. Which then leads to not being able to figure out part D to find that higher level of confidence.

I am confused about how to find the confidence interval (at the 90% level) of the remaining data points on part C. Which then leads to not being able to figure out part D to find that higher level of confidence.

I attached the chart of confidence levels for these questions. Thank you!

Show all work and calculations:
1. The following data were obtained in the determination of the density of water:
Density (g/mL): 0.986, 0.984, 0,954, 0.990, 0.980
a.
Determine the mean and standard deviation for this data set.
Ncan: 0.979
Stenderd Devietion- 0.0128
b. Perform a Grubbs' outlier test. Can a data point be discarded at the 90% confidence level?
We con
discord the 0.954.
c. Determine the mean, standard deviation, and confidence interval (at the 90% level) of the
remaining data points.
Mean= 0.985
starderd Daviction= 0.003
d. In the Grubbs' test, is there a higher level of confidence that would require you to keep the
outlier (0.954) in the data set? If so, what level is that? Explain why using a higher level of
confidence makes it more difficult to discard an outlier.

Expert Solution
Step 1

I am only solving C & D that based on your calculations.

c) We see that, removing the outlier value, there are 4 data points.

Hence, sample size = n = 4.

Mean = m = 0.983

S.D. = s = 0.003

We see that, for sample size (no. of observations) 4, the 90% confidence level is 1.425.
