topic POINT ESTIMATION OF PARAMETERS

An electrical firm manufactures light bulbs that
have a length of life that is approximately normally
distributed with a standard deviation of 40 hours. If
a sample of 30 bulbs has an average life of 780 hours,
find a 96% confidence interval for the population mean
of all bulbs produced by this firm.

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
