answer the following questions:
-
a. What is the confidence level for the interval x — 2.140/
√√n≤≤+2.140/√√n?
8.1.8 A civil engineer is analyzing the compressives trength of concrete. Compressive strength is normally distributed with σ2 = 1000(psi)2. A random sample of 12 specimens has a mean compressive strength ofx = 3250 psi.
a. Construct a 95% two-sided confidence interval on mean
compressive strength.
b. Construct a 99% two-sided confidence interval on mean
compressive strength. Compare the width of this confidence
interval with the width of the one found in part (a).

the compressive strength with an error that is less than 15 psi at
99% confidence. What sample size is required?
