Question
On the basis of extensive tests, the yield point of a particular type of mild steel-reinforcing bar is known to be normally distributed with a 100. The composition of the bar
has been slightly modified, but the modification is not believed to have affected either the normality or the value of a.
(a) Assuming this to be the case, if a sample of 64 modified bars resulted in a sample average yield point of 8415 lb, compute a 90% CI for the true average yield
point of the modified bar. (Round your answers to one decimal place.)
Enter a number.
(b) How would you modify the interval in part (a) to obtain a confidence level of 92%? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
---Select---

You may need to use the appropriate table in the Appendix of Tables to answer this question.
