Using the output in Exercise 9:

a. Find the critical value zα∕2 for a 99% confidence interval.

b. Use the critical value along with the information in the output to construct a 99%

confidence interval for the mean reading of the scale.

Exercise 9

To estimate the accuracy of a laboratory scale, a weight known to have a mass of 100 grams is weighed 32 times. The reading of the scale is recorded each time. The following MINITAB output presents a 95% confidence interval for the mean reading of the scale.image text in transcribed
