A Cl is desired for the true average stray-load loss mu (watts) for a certain type of induction motor when the line current is held at 10 amps for a speed of 1500 rpm, Assume that stray-load loss is normally distributed sigma = 2.8 (Round your answer to two decimal places.)Solution
a)
Note that
Margin of Error E = z(alpha/2) * s / sqrt(n)
Lower Bound = X - z(alpha/2) * s / sqrt(n)
Upper Bound = X + z(alpha/2) * s / sqrt(n)
where
alpha/2 = (1 - confidence level)/2 = 0.025
X = sample mean = 58.2
z(alpha/2) = critical z for the confidence interval = 1.96
s = sample standard deviation = 2.8
n = sample size = 25
Thus,
Margin of Error E = 1.0976
Lower bound = 57.1024
Upper bound = 59.2976
Thus, the confidence interval is
( 57.1024 , 59.2976 ) [ANSWER]

b)
Note that
Margin of Error E = z(alpha/2) * s / sqrt(n)
Lower Bound = X - z(alpha/2) * s / sqrt(n)
Upper Bound = X + z(alpha/2) * s / sqrt(n)
where
alpha/2 = (1 - confidence level)/2 = 0.025
X = sample mean = 58.2
z(alpha/2) = critical z for the confidence interval = 1.96
s = sample standard deviation = 2.8
n = sample size = 100
Thus,
Margin of Error E = 0.5488
Lower bound = 57.6512
Upper bound = 58.7488
Thus, the confidence interval is
( 57.6512 , 58.7488 ) [ANSWER]
*******************
c)
Note that
Margin of Error E = z(alpha/2) * s / sqrt(n)
Lower Bound = X - z(alpha/2) * s / sqrt(n)
Upper Bound = X + z(alpha/2) * s / sqrt(n)
where
alpha/2 = (1 - confidence level)/2 = 0.005
X = sample mean = 58.2
z(alpha/2) = critical z for the confidence interval = 2.575
s = sample standard deviation = 2.8
n = sample size = 100
Thus,
Margin of Error E = 0.721
Lower bound = 57.479
Upper bound = 58.921
Thus, the confidence interval is
( 57.479 , 58.921 ) [ANSWER]
*********************
d)
Note that
Margin of Error E = z(alpha/2) * s / sqrt(n)
Lower Bound = X - z(alpha/2) * s / sqrt(n)
Upper Bound = X + z(alpha/2) * s / sqrt(n)
where
alpha/2 = (1 - confidence level)/2 = 0.09
X = sample mean = 58.2
z(alpha/2) = critical z for the confidence interval = 1.34
s = sample standard deviation = 2.8
n = sample size = 100
Thus,
Margin of Error E = 0.3752
Lower bound = 57.8248
Upper bound = 58.5752
Thus, the confidence interval is
( 57.8248 , 58.5752 ) [ANSWER]
******************
E)
Here,
margin of error = width/2 = 1.0/2 = 0.5.
Note that
n = z(alpha/2)^2 s^2 / E^2
where
alpha/2 = (1 - confidence level)/2 = 0.005
Using a table/technology,
z(alpha/2) = 2.575
Also,
s = sample standard deviation = 2.8
E = margin of error = 0.5
Thus,
n = 207.9364
Rounding up,
n = 208 [ANSWER]
