A machine produces metal rods used in an automobile suspension system. A random sample of 15 rods

Question:

A machine produces metal rods used in an automobile suspension system. A random sample of 15 rods is selected and the diameter is measured. The resulting data (in millime ters) are as follows: 8.24 8.25 8.20 8.23 8.24 8.21 8.26 8.26 8.20 8.25 8.23 8.23 8.19 8.28 8.24 (4) Check the assumption of normality for rod diameter.

(b) Calculate a 95% two-sided confidence interval on mean rod diameter.

(c) Calculate a 95% upper confidence bound on the mean. Compare this bound with the upper bound of the two-sided confidence interval and discuss why they are different.
