In a factory the 95% confidence interval of the mean net weight of the chocolates produced was estimated.
Based on a random sample of 400 chocolates the mean net weight is between 99 grams and 101 grams. Give the maximum error of the estimate in grams.
An excess of high values for the cases distributed on a graph results in a positive skew in the data?
Suppose we need to construct a 95% confidence interval for the mean of a normal population with standard deviation σ =3 Then, the sample size needed to get an error of estimation =0.6 is?

- A confidence interval is desired for the true mean stray-load loss (Watts) for a certain type of induction motor. Assume that the stray-load loss is normally distributed with =3.3Watts. You take 25 measurements of stray-load loss from induction motors and determine that the mean of your sample is 53.6 Watts. Given the information in this first situation, what equation for the interval estimate endpoints will you need to use for this problem? Also, why did you choose that equation? (In other words, what assumptions can you make?)
