Based on your confidence interval from the previous problem, can you conclude that the mean permeability coefficient at 60∘60∘C differs from that at 61∘61∘C at the 0.05 level of significance?
A.
Yes, because the 95% confidence interval includes 0
B.
No, because the 95% confidence interval includes 0
C.
Yes, because the 95% confidence interval does not include 0
D.
No, because the 95% confidence interval does not include 0
E.
It is impossible answer this question only using the 95% confidence interval.
A soft-drink manufacturer purchases aluminum cans from an outside vendor. A random sample of 70 cans is selected from a large shipment, and each is tested for strength by applying an increasing load to the side of the can until it punctures. Of the 70 cans, 59 meet the specification for puncture resistance. (a) Find a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of cans in the shipment that meet the specification. (b) How to interpret the confidence interval in part (a)? (c) Find the sample size needed for a 90% confidence interval to specify the proportion to within ±0.06. (d) If a 90% confidence interval is computed each day for 300 days, what is the probability that more than 280 of the confidence intervals cover the true proportions?
