If a sample of 30 bulbs has an average life of 780 hours, find a 99% confidence interval for the population mean of all bulbs produced by this firm.
Suppose an electrical firm manufactures light bulbs that have a length of life that isnormally distributed, with a standard deviation of 55 hours. If a random sample of 27 bulbs has a mean length of life of 1,320 hours, find a 99% confidence interval for the population mean length of life of all bulbs produced by this firm. Interpret this interval.
