A study was conducted to estimate the mean life (in miles) of a certain type of locomotive
Question:
A study was conducted to estimate the mean life (in miles) of a certain type of locomotive using censored sampling (Technometrics, May 1985). Ninety-six locomotives were operated for either 135 thousand miles or until failure. Of these, 37 failed before the 135- thousand-mile period. The accompanying table contains the miles to failure for these locomotives. Assuming an exponential failure time distribution, construct a 95% confidence interval for the mean miles to failure of the locomotives.
