In a certain manufacturing process, the diameter of holes drilled in a steel plate is a normally distributed random variable.
The process standard deviation is known to be σ=0.005 cm.
A sample of 15 plates shows a mean hole diameter of 2.475 cm.
Find the 95 percent confidence interval for μ.
-----
x-bar = 2.475
---
E = invT(0.025 with df = 14) = 0.0028
-----
95% CI: 2.475- 0.0028 < u < 2.475+ 0.0028
-----
(2.4722,2.4778)
