2. The following are the lifetimes (in hours) of a random sample of a type of electrical component:
1428.4, 970.4, 724.6, 691.4, 856.7, 1144.3, 817.6, 1630.7, 1082.2, 932.8.
(a) Determine the 95% confidence interval for the average lifetime of the component.
(b) Determine the 99% confidence interval for the average lifetime of the component.
(c) In the last year, the average lifetime of the component was 833.7 hours. According to the above sampling results, can we say that the average lifetime of the component is improved compared to the last year? Briefly explain.
(d) If you want the sample result more accurately reflect the population, what would you do?

5. You are a quality control engineer and you are asked to analyze the lifetime (in hours) of an electronic component mass-produced by a corporation. Management believes that the electronic components are not lasting as long as they should. The data from your pilot study of 10 randomly selected components resulted in the following lifetimes for parts (in hours) : a. Assuming the lifetimes follow a normal distribution, and based on the above sample, develop a 95% confidence interval for the mean lifetime of this...
