Compute a 95 percent confidnval fo the mean peak current when the nickel concen- tration is r100 ppb. Interpret the interval. 2. Compute a 95 peet confidence interval for the peak current when the nickel concentration is z. = 100 ppb. Interpret the interval. 3. Compare the two intervals. Which interval is wider? Why?

Explanation / Answer

Let's used Minitab to find confidence limit (for mean) and prediction limit (for predicted value) Peak Current when the nickel concentration is x = 100 ppb.

Step 1) First enter the given data set in minitab columns.

Step 2) Click on Stat>>>Regression>>>General regression...

Response: select y

Model: select x

Step 3) Click on Prediction

in "New observation for continuous predictors:

we want to predict y for given x = 100

So put 100

Select confidence limits:

and prediction limits

Then click on OK

then click on Option.

Confidence level for all interval: put 95

Types of confidence interval: Two-sided.

then click on OK and again Click on OK

So we get the following minitab output

Values of Predictors for New Observations

New Obs x_1

a) From the above output 95% confidence interval for the mean peak current when the nickel concentration is x = 100 ppb. is (0.434109, 0.448375)

b) The 95% confidence interval for the peak current when the nickel concentration is x = 100 ppb. is same as the prediction interval (0.418824, 0.463660)

c) From part a) and b) we conclude that the prediction interval is wider than the mean interval because the standard error of mean is smaller than the standard error of predicted value.
