Assume that the helium porosity (in percentage) of coal samples taken from any particular seam is normally distributed with true standard deviation 0.76.
(a) Compute a 95% CI for the true average porosity of a certain seam if the average porosity for 19 specimens from the seam was 4.85. (Round your answers to two
decimal places.)
(b) Compute a 98% CI for true average porosity of another seam based on 15 specimens with a sample average porosity of 4.56. (Round your answers to two
decimal places.)
(c) How large a sample size is necessary if the width of the 95% interval is to be 0.36? (Round your answer up to the nearest whole number.)
specimens
(d) What sample size is necessary to estimate true average porosity to within 0.23 with 99% confidence? (Round your answer up to the nearest whole number.)
