Question

A Cl is desired for the true average stray-load loss mu (watts) for a certain type of induction motor when the line current is held at 10 amps for a speed of 1500 rpm. Assume that stray-load loss is normally distributed with a = 3.1. (Round your answers to two decimal places.) Compute a 95% Cl for,mu when n = 25 and x = 54.7. watts Compute a 95% Cl for mu when n = 100 and x = 54.7. watts Compute a 99% Cl for mu when n = 100 and x = 54.7. watts Compute an 82% Cl for mu when n = 100 and x = 54.7. watts How large must n be if the width of the 99% interval for mu is to be 1.0? (Round your answer up to the nearest whole number.) n = .

e)

For 99%, z=2.576

d=1

sd=3.1

Sample size = (z2*s2)/d2

= (2.5762*3.12)/12

=63.76

The sample size required= 64
