In a certain plant batteries are being produced with a life expectancy that has a variance of 5.76 months squared. Suppose the average life expectancy in a sample of 64 batteries is 12.35 months. Estimate the average life expectancy of all the batteries produced at this plant. for samples of size 64 we know that thesample means are normally distributed with a standard deviation of s = 5.76 = 0.3 . At a 90% sx = n 64 confidence level , the population mean is 12.35 ± 1.645 ⎛⎜⎝ 0.3 ⎞⎟⎠ . Therefore, we can be certain that the mean life expectancy of the batteries is between 11.8565 and 12.8435 months. A government investigator plans to test the mean quantity of a particular pollutant that a manufacturer is dumping per day into a river. He needs an estimate that is within 50 grams at the 95% confidence level. If previous measurements indicate that the variance is approximately 21,800 grams squared, how many days should he include in the sample? zσ 2 n = error ⎛ ⎜ ⎜ ⎜ ⎝ 2 z0.95 = 1.96 , so 1.96 ⋅ 147.65 ⎞ n = ⎛⎜ = 33.49 ⎟ 50 ⎝ ⎠ ⎞ ⎟ ⎟ ⎟ ⎠ • polyval(p,x) • roots(p) EDU>> p=[1 0 0 0 0 0 -1]; EDU>> disp(roots(p)) -1.000000000000000 + 0.000000000000000i -0.500000000000000 + 0.866025403784439i -0.500000000000000 - 0.866025403784439i 0.500000000000000 + 0.866025403784438i 0.500000000000000 - 0.866025403784438i 1.000000000000000 + 0.000000000000000i • poly(r) • • • • • conv(p1,p2) [q r] = deconv(u,v) k = polyder(p) k = polyder(p1,p2) [n d] = polyder(u,v) • polyfit(x,y,n) % P(X < 0.33) EDU>> normcdf(0.33,mean(v),std(v)) ans = 0.0226890673554349 % P(X > 0.33) EDU>> 1-normcdf(0.33,mean(v),std(v)) ans = 0.977310932644565 % P(0.33 < X < 0.34) ans = 0.213520415461181 EDU>> ans = norminv(0.0226890673554349,mean(v),std(v)) 0.33 An engineer measured the number of pounds per square inch (psi) required to crack a certain type of concrete slab and found it to be 2,500 psi.
