Homework -8

1.
a)

z / 2 = 2.81 which implies that ( /2 =1(2.81)

Therefore,

=0.005

And Confidence Level = 100*(1- =99.5

b)

z / 2=1.44 which implies that ( /2 =1(1.44)

Therefore,

=0.15

And Confidence level = 100*(1- =85

c) 99.7 % implies that
Therefore,

( 2 )=0.0015

z 0.0015= 2.96

d) 75 % implies that
Therefore,

=0.003 which leads

=0.25 which leads

( 2 )=0.125

z 0.125=1.15

b) 4.56

(2.33)( 0.75)
=4.56 0.4368=( 4.123, 4.997)
16

c) 2(1.96)

0.75
=0.4= Therefore ,n=54.0225
n

In order to have the width of the 95% confidence interval n must be at least 55.

d) n =

[2 ( 2.58 ) ( 0.75 ) ]
0.2

=93.61

Therefore, n= 94

7.
Degree of freedom: n-1=22-1=21
chisq(0.005,21)=8.033653
chisq(0.995,21)=41.40106
The variance s2 =25.36799
Then the CI for 2 is (21*25.368/41.401,21*25.368/8.034) = (12.868, 66.309)
CI for is (3.6, 8.1)

95 % CI is = 54.7 2.009 ( 48 )

= 54.7 1.652

= (53.04,56.35)

Interpretation: We are 95 percent sure that true average breakdown voltage lies in
this range .

has not been precisely determined as we are givenarange which it lies .
