in a sample of 100 steel canisters, the mean wall thickness was 8.1 mm with a standard deviation of 0.6 mm. find a 95% confidence interval for the mean wall thickness of this type of canister.

Respuesta :

The wall of this type of canister is 7.984.

What is standard deviation?

Standard Deviation is a measure which shows how much variation (such as spread, dispersion, spread,) from the mean exists. The standard deviation indicates a “typical” deviation from the mean. It is a popular measure of variability because it returns to the original units of measure of the data set.

Given, mean = 8.1 mm

number of canister n = 100

standard deviation = 0.6

Standard error due to sampling:

= standard deviation/ square root of n

=0.6/10

=  0.06.

The mean wall thickness is

= 7.984
