A sample of 40 cereal boxes was taken with an average weight of 11.8 ounces and standard deviation of 0.5 ounces. Confidence intervals were constructed for various confidence levels: 80% was between 11.6986 to 11.9014 ounces, 90% was between 11.67 to 11.93 ounces, and 95% was between 11.6450 to 11.9550 ounces. Higher confidence levels like 99% and 99.9% had smaller intervals, with 99.9% between 11.5398 to 12.0602 ounces.

Question 3

A sample of 40 boxes of cereal was taken from the production line. The average

weight of the contents was 11.8 ounces and had a standard deviation of 0.5 ounces.

Construct 80% (Ainul), 90% (Amir), 95% (Putri), 98% (Izzati), 99% (Aizah), 99.8%

(Syarifah), 99.9% (Asyiqin) confidence interval for the population mean for the

contents of all the cereal boxes.

X - Z α /2 (S/√n), X + Z α /2 (S/√n)

n ≥ 30

n= 40

X = 11.8

S= 0.5

Ainul ( 80% )

α = 1- 0.80

= 0.2

=Zα /2 = z 0.2 /2

= 0.1 = 1.282

11.8 - 1.282 (0.5/√40), 11.8 + 1.282 (0.5/√40)

11.6986,11.9014
We can conclude that 80% confidence level for the population mean for the contents

of all cereal boxes is between 11.6986 to 11.9014

90% (Amir)

α = 1- 0.90

=0.1

= Zα /2 = z 0.1 /2

= 0.05 = 1.645

11.8 - 1.645 (0.5/√40), 11.8 + 1.645 (0.5/√40)

11.67, 11.93

We can conclude that 90% confidence level for the population mean for the contents

of all cereal boxes is between 11.67 to 11.93

95% (Putri)

α = 1- 0.95

=0.05

= Zα /2 = z 0.05 /2

= 0.025 = 1.960

11.8 - 1.960 (0.5/√40), 11.8 + 1.960 (0.5/√40)


11.6450,11.9550

We can conclude that 95% confidence level for the population mean for the contents

of all cereal boxes is between 11.6450 to 11.9550

98% (Izzati)

α = 1- 0.98

=0.02

=Zα /2 = z 0.02 /2

= 0.01 = 2.326

11.8 - 2.326 (0.5/√40), 11.8 + 2.326(0.5/√40)

11.6161, 11.9839

We can conclude that 98% confidence level for the population mean for the contents

of all cereal boxes is between 11.6161 to 11.9839

99% (Aizah)

α = 1- 0.99

=0.01

=Zα /2 = z 0.01 /2

= 0.005 = 2.576

11.8 - 2.576 (0.5/√40), 11.8 + 2.576 (0.5/√40)


11.5963,12.0037

We can conclude that 99% confidence level for the population mean for the contents

of all cereal boxes is between 11.5963 to 12.0037

99.8% (Syarifah)

α = 1- 0.998

=0.002

=Zα /2 = z 0.002 /2

= 0.001 = 3.090

11.8 - 3.090(0.5/√40), 11.8 + 3.090 (0.5/√40)

11.5557,12.0443

We can conclude that 99.8% confidence level for the population mean for the contents

of all cereal boxes is between 11.5557 to 12.0443

99.9% (Asyiqin)

α = 1- 0.999

=0.001

=Zα /2 = z 0.001 /2

= 0.0005 = 3.291

11.8 - 3.291(0.5/√40), 11.8 + 3.291 (0.5/√40)


11.5398,12.0602

We can conclude that 99.9% confidence level for the population mean for the contents

of all cereal boxes is between 11.5398 to 12.0602
