Question

The manufacturer of a new line of ink-jet printers would like to include as part of its advertising the number of pages a user can expect from a print cartridge. A sample of 10 cartridges revealed the following number of pages printed. (Use t Distribution Table.)

3,470

2,560

2,550

2,500

3,170

2,500

2,220

3,430

2,730

3,390

What is the point estimate of the population mean? (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)

Develop a 95% confidence interval for the population mean. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)

  Confidence interval for the population mean is between and .

Explanation / Answer

A. point estimate of population mean

=sum of observations/sample size

=(3,470+2,560+2,550+2,500+3,170+2,500+2,220+3,430+2,730+3,390)/10

=28520/10

=2852

B.

standard error = z*s/sqrt(n) = 1.96*304.43/sqrt(10) = 188.69
95% CI:2852-188.69 < u < 2852+188.69
95% CI: 2663.31 < u < 3038.69
