6.57b For a large sample, n>30, = x z / 2 / n

For 90, 95, and 99% confidence levels, x/2 = 1.64, 1.96, and 2.58 respectively.
For 90% confidence level, the confidence interval is 1.64x0.2/(40)1/2 = 0.052 oz. For 95% and 99%
confidence levels, the intervals are 0.061 oz and 0.082 oz.
6.59 (a) The mean is 16.042 oz. and the sample standard deviation is 0.079 oz. The standard
deviation of the mean is 0.07941/(12)1/2 = 0.0229 oz.
(b) This is a t-distribution problem with = 12-1 = 11 and /2 = 0.025. From the t-distribution table, t
has a value of 2.201. The confidence interval on the mean is then t/2S/(n)1/2 = 2.201x0.0229 =
0.0504 oz.
