Oven thermostats were tested by setting them to 350oF and measuring the actual temperature of the oven. In a sample of 67 thermostats, the average temperature was 348.2oF. If the standard deviation of the population is known to be σ = 5.1oF do the following: (i) Find a two-sided 95% confidence interval for the mean oven temperature. (ii) How many thermostats must be sampled so that the 90% confidence interval specifies the mean within ±0.8oF?
