A student measured the lead content of a paint sample 4 times. The standard deviation of the measurements was found to be 0.76% of the average. Calculate the confidence interval at the 90% confidence level.

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]CI =0.894%[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Sample size [tex]n=4[/tex]

Standard deviation [tex]\sigma=0.76\% of \=x[/tex]

Confidence level [tex]\mu =90\%=0.90[/tex]

Degree of Freedom [tex]Df=n-1=3[/tex]

Therefore

Test T from table is given

 [tex]t=2.353[/tex]

Generally the equation for Confidence interval CI is mathematically given by

 [tex]CI =t*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

 [tex]CI =2.353*\frac{0.76}{\sqrt{4}}[/tex]

 [tex]CI =0.894%[/tex]
