The document contains a homework problem with two parts: 1) The first problem analyzes brightness measurements from 31 paper samples and calculates a 99% confidence interval for the true brightness mean. The interval is found to be 60.018 to 64.118. 2) The second problem examines the number of paper rolls rejected per month, estimates the true mean to be 7.139 rolls, and calculates a 98% confidence interval of 5.20 to 9.09 rolls.

Problem #1: The following brightness measurements were obtained from 31 paper
samples produced on the same paper machine under identical operating conditions:

59.3 61.5 61.2 60.3 65.7 62.8


63.1 58.2 62.1 60.9 59.8 60.0
59.1 59.4 59.3 82.1 60.7 63.2
63.2 64.1 61.5 60.6 63.1 62.8
60.1 62.3 61.2 65.2 58.8 60.9
61.6

Carefully analysis the data . What can you say about the distribution of the
measurement ? Find a 99 % confidence interval for the brightness of paper produced on
the machine . What assumptions have you made ?

solution

 Although (n30) BUT the population variance “2=??” is unknown, we use the t-
distribution:

X̅=
∑ x = 1924.1 = 62.068
n 31

S 2= ∑
2
(x− X̅ ) 516.668
= 30 =17.222
n−1

S = √ s 2 =√ 17.222=4.15

CI=99% =n-1 =100-CI

=30

=100-99=1% = 0.01  because it was not mentioned that it has one tail, so we use
two tail  =0.005.

60.018 ≤ μ ≤ 64.118

We conclude that the population average μ is [60.018,64.118] with a confidence interval


of 99%, and this percentage is unrealistic.

Problem #2: In determining the quality of paper coming from a particular paper -
machine , the random variable X the number of rolls rejected by Pressrooms per
month , is considered . Past experience indicates that (= 5) . These data are obtained :

( a ) Find an estimate for  the mean number of rolls rejected per month .

( b ) What is the normal distribution of the sample mean ?

( c ) Find an approximate 98% confidence interval for  mean .

( a ) : Sample mean (X̅ ) : X̅ = ( 7 + 8 + 4+ 5+ 9 + 9 + 4 + 12 + 8 + 1 + 8 + 7 + 3 + 13 + 2

X̅ = 257/36 = 7.139

Therefore , an estimate for the mean number of rolls rejected per month is approximately
7.139.

( b ) : Because n30 , and population variance is known we use z-distribution .

(c):

X̅=7.139 =5 =0.02/2 “two tail” =35

Read z-value from TABLE A.1  Z=2.326
