The average zinc concentration recovered from a sample of me
The average zinc concentration recovered from a sample of measurements in 36 different location of a river is found to be 2.6 grams per millimeter. Answer the followings, assuming that the population standard deviation is 0.3 gram per millimeters. Obtain a 99% confidence interval for the mean zinc concentration in the river. How large a sample is required if the width of the confidence interval in Part (i) is to be 0.2?
Solution
Given that n = 36 s = 0.3 x = 2.6
x-bar ± t0.01 ( s/n)
2.6 ± 2.719(0.3/36)
2.6 ± 2.719(0.05)
2.6 ± 0.1360
[2.4640 , 207360]
i didn\'t get the answer for part ii
