Explanation Theorem used: If f and g are continuous and f ( x ) ≥ g ( x ) over the interval [ a , b ] , then the area bounded by y = f ( x ) and y = g ( x ) for a ≤ x ≤ b is given exactly by A = ∫ a b [ f ( x ) − g ( x ) ] d x . Calculation: The given functions are y = x 2 − 1 and y = 0 . Use online graphing calculator to sketch the graph of the functions y = x 2 − 1 and y = 0 over the interval [ − 1 , 2 ] is as shown below in Figure 1. From Figure 1, it is observed that the function y = x 2 − 1 is greater than y = 0 in the interval [ 1 , 2 ] and the function y = x 2 − 1 is lesser than y = 0 in the interval [ − 1 , 1 ] . By the above mentioned theorem, the area of the shaded region is computed as follows. A = ∫ 1 2 ( ( x 2 − 1 ) − 0 ) d x + ∫ − 1 1 ( 0 − ( x 2 − 1</

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
