 The lengths of the products produced in a production process are controlled. The standard deviation is 0.45 mm. A quality control specialist keeps checking on 40 random units every morning. The average length in one day is 35.62 mm. when; Which of the following is the confidence interval for the population mean at the 95% confidence level?

 

 
 a)

P( 23.34 < µ < 24.15 ) = 0.95

 

 B)

P( 39.48 < µ < 45.78 ) = 0.95

 

 NS)

P( 25.51 < µ < 25.76 ) = 0.95

 

 D)

P( 35.48 < µ < 35.76 ) = 0.05

 

 TO)

 P( 35.48 < µ < 35.76 ) = 0.95

Expert Solution
Step 1

Obtain the 95% confidence interval for the population mean.

 

The 95% confidence interval for the population mean is obtained below as follows:

 

Statistics homework question answer, step 1, image 1

Use EXCEL Procedure for finding the critical value of z.

 

Follow the instruction to obtain the critical value of z:

 

  1. Open EXCEL
  2. Go to Formula bar.
  3. In formula bar enter the function as“=NORMINV”
  4. Enter the probability as 0.975
  5. Enter the mean as 0 and the Standard deviation as 1.
  6. Click enter

 

EXCEL output:

 

From the EXCEL output, the critical value of z at the 95% confidence level is 1.96.
