Exercises

1. Consider a random sample of size n from a normal distribution, Xi  N(,2).

a. If it is known that 2 = 9, find a 90% confidence interval for  based on the
estimate 𝑥̅ = 19.3 with n = 16.
b. Based on the information in (a), find a one-sided lower 90% confidence limit for
. Also, find a one-sided upper 90% confidence limit for .
c. For a confidence interval of the form given by expression (11.2.7), derive a
formula for the sample size required to obtain an interval of specified length .
if 2 = 9, then what sample size is needed to achieve a 90% confidence interval of
length 2?
d. Suppose now that 2 is unknown. Find a 90% confidence interval for  if 𝑥̅ = 19.3
and s2 = 10.24 with n =16
e. Based on the data in (d), find a 99% confidence interval for 2.
2. Assume that the weight data of exercise 24, Chapter 4, are observed values of a
random sample of size n = 60 from a normal distribution.
a. Find a 99% confidence interval for the mean weight of major league baseballs.
b. Find a 99% confidence interval for the standard deviation .
3. The following data are times (in hours) between failures of air conditioning
equipment in a particular airplane : 74, 57, 48, 29, 502, 12, 70, 21, 29, 386, 59, 27,
153, 26, 326. Assume that data are observed values of a random sample from
exponential distribution . Xi  EXP().
a. Find a 90% confidence interval for the mean time between failures, .
b. Find a one-sided lower 95% confidence limit for the 10th percentile of the
distribution of time between failures.
