Statistical Estimation and Small Sampling

The document discusses statistical methods for estimating properties of populations based on samples. It provides examples of calculating a 95% confidence interval for the mean tensile strength of a material based on test results from 10 samples. Another example calculates the probability that the mean length of asbestos sheets in a randomly selected batch falls within a given range, and the number of batches expected to have a mean length below a given value, based on data from 20 batches of 3 dozen sheets each.

STATISTICAL ESTIMATION AND SMALL SAMPLING

THEORIES
CONFIDENCE INTERVALS
1. The value of the ultimate tensile strength of a material is determined by
measurements on 10 samples of materials. The mean and standard deviation of the
results are found to be 4.38 Mpa and 0.06 Mpa respectively. Determine the 95%
confidence interval for the mean of the ultimate tensile strength of the material.
Ans.
4.417< <4.343

THE CENTRAL LIMIT THEOREM
Asbestos-cement sheets are manufactured with a mean length 2400 mm
and standard deviation 3 mm. Given that 20 batches consisting of 3 dozen
sheets are considered, determine
(a) the probability that a batch (chosen at random) has a mean
length between 2399.5 mm and 2400.6 mm
(b) the number of batches with mean length less than 2399.3 mm.
Ans
(a) P(2399.5< x <2400.6) = 0.7262

(b) P( x <2399.3) = 0.0808
