Question
A soccer ball manufacturer wants to estimate the mean circumference of soccer balls within
0.14
inch.
​(a) Determine the minimum sample size required to construct a
99​%
confidence interval for the population mean. Assume the population standard deviation is
0.6
inch.
​(b) The sample mean is
28.4
inches. With a sample size of
133​,
a
99​%
level of​ confidence, and a population standard deviation of
0.6
​inch, does it seem possible that the population mean could be less than
28.5
​inches? Explain.
