q46

A manufacturing plant produces steel rods.
During one production run of 20,000 such
rods, the specifications called for rods that
were 46 cm in length and 3.8 cm in width.
Fifteen of these rods making up a random
sample were measured for length; the resulting
measurements are shown here. Use these data
to estimate the population variance of length
for the rods. Assume rod length is normally
distributed in the population. Construct a 99%
confidence interval. Discuss the ramifications
of the results.
