Consider the concrete specimens in Exercise 7-7. What is the standard error of the sample mean? 2361 pet 7-8.

From Table IIT, F(2.14) = P(Z < 2.14) = 0.9838 and the confidence level is 2(0.9838-0.5) = 96.76% 2.

(Journal of Bioscience and Bioengineering, 2012) studied the adhesion of various biofilms to solid surfaces for possible use in environmental technologies. Adhesion assay is conducted by measuring absorbance at As». Suppose ‘that for the bacterial strain Acinetobacter, five measurements gave readings of 2.69, 5.76, 2.61, 1.62 and 4.12 dyne-cm». Assume that the standard deviation is known to be 0.66 dyne-cr, (@)_ Find a 95% confidence interval for the mean adhesion.
