8.1.6The yield of a chemical process is being studied. From previous experience, yield is known to be normally
distributed and σ = 3. The past 5 days of plant operation have
resulted in the following percent yields: 91.6, 88.75, 90.8, 89.95,
and 91.3. Find a 95% two-sided confidence interval on the true
mean yield.
8.1.7 .A manufacturer produces piston rings for an automobile engine. It is known that ring diameter is normally distributed
with σ = 0.001 millimeters. A random sample of 15 rings has a
mean diameter of x = 74.036 millimeters.
a. Construct a 99% two-sided confidence interval on the
mean piston ring diameter.
b. Construct a 99% lower-confidence bound on the mean
piston ring diameter. Compare the lower bound of this confi-
dence interval with the one in part (a).
8.1.2 .Consider the one-sided confidence interval expressions for a mean of a normal population.
a. What value of zα would result in a 90% CI?
b. What value of zα would result in a 95% CI?
c. What value of zα would result in a 99% CI?
8.1.3 A random sample has been taken from a normal distribution and the following confidence intervals constructed using the
same data: (38.02, 61.98) and (39.95, 60.05)
a. What is the value of the sample mean?
b. One of these intervals is a 95% CI and the other is a
90% CI. Which one is the 95% CI and why?
8.1.4 . A confidence interval estimate is desired for the gain
in a circuit on a semiconductor device. Assume that gain is normally distributed with standard deviation σ = 20.
a. How large must n be if the length of the 95% CI is to
be 40?
b. How large must n be if the length of the 99% CI is to
be 40?
8.1.5 Suppose that n = 100 random samples of water from
a freshwater lake were taken and the calcium concentration
(milligrams per liter) measured. A 95% CI on the mean calcium
concentration is 0.49 g μ g 0.82.
a. Would a 99% CI calculated from the same sample data be
longer or shorter?
b. Consider the following statement: There is a 95% chance
that μ is between 0.49 and 0.82. Is this statement correct?
Explain your answer.
c. Consider the following statement: If n = 100 random
samples of water from the lake were taken and the 95% CI on
μ computed, and this process were repeated 1000 times, 950
of the CIs would contain the true value of μ. Is this statement
correct? Explain your answer

Tank A contains 200 liters of water in which 50 kilograms of salt has been dissolved and Tank B contains 100 liters of pure water. Water containing 1kg of salt per liter is pumped into Tank A at the rate of 5 liters per minute. Brine mixture is pumped into Tank A from Tank B at the rate of 3 liters per minute and brine mixture is pumped from Tank A into Tank B at the rate of 8 liters per minute.
