Assume the given sample observations were selected from a normal distribution.
a)
Calculate a two-sided 95% confidence interval for the true average work of
adhesion for UHPC adhered to steel. Does the interval suggest that 107 is a plausible
value for the true average work of adhesion for UHPC adhered to steel? What about
110?
b) Predict the resulting work of adhesion value resulting from a single future
replication of the experiment by calculating a 95% prediction interval and compare
the width of this interval to the width of the CI from (a).
c)
Calculate an upper confidence bound with confidence level 95% for the
population standard deviation of adhesion measurements.
