4. The resilient moduli of 10 samples of a clay mixture are measured and the sample mean is x = 19.50. If an experimenter wishes to use a "known" value o = 1.0 for the standard deviation of the resilient modulus measurements based upon prior experience, construct appropriate 90%, 95%, and 99% two-sided confidence intervals for the average resilient modulus µ. Compare the lengths of the confidence intervals. Do you think it is plausible that the average resilient modulus is equal to 20.0?

To estimate the mean number of days that an employees was absent from work last year, Hamilton Manufacturing took a random sample of 600 of its employees. the mean of the sample was 16.3. it is known that the population standard deviation is 5.1. the 95% confidence interval was therefore approxiamately 16.3 ± m. What is the width of the confidence interval?
