Problem #19: An experiment is carried out to estimate the mean lifetime of tires manufactured with embedded steel particles. Testing of a random sample of 40 such tires gives a mean tire life of 97395 km, until the tread indicators are visible, with a sample standard deviation of 2876 km. An engineering student then gives her supervisor the confidence interval [96223.68, 98566.32] for the population mean tire life. What is the confidence level of this interval?

Problem 19

Problem #19: An experiment is carried out to estimate the mean lifetime of tires
manufactured with embedded steel particles. Testing of a random
sample of 40 such tires gives a mean tire life of 97395 km, until
the tread indicators are visible, with a sample standard deviation
of 2876 km. An engineering student then gives her supervisor the
confidence interval [96223.68, 98566.32] for the population mean
tire life. What is the confidence level of this interval?
