The alternating current (AC) breakdown voltage of an insulating liquid indicates its dielectric strength. The article "Testing Practices for the AC Breakdown Voltage Testing of Insulation Liquids" gave the accompanying sample observations on breakdown voltage (kV) of a particular circuit under certain conditions. 62 50 53 57 41 53 55 61 59 64 50 53 64 62 50 68

a) Construct a boxplot of the data and comment on interesting features.
b) Calculate and interpret a 95% Confidence Interval for true average breakdown voltage μ. Does it appeas that μ has been precisely estimated? Explain.
c) Suppose the investigator believes that virtually all values of breakdown voltage are between 40 and 70. What sample size would be appropriate for the 95% Confidence Interval to have a width of 2kV (so that μ is estimated to within 1 kV with 95% confidence?)

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

Given the variable

X: breakdown voltage of an insulating liquid under certain conditions.

a)

Graphic in attachment.

Box: The median is closer to the third quartile than the first quartile showing skewness to the left.

The black dot in the middle of the box represents the sample mean (X[bar]) as you can see it is also moved to the right side of the distribution, affected by the presence of an outlier.

Whiskers:

The upper whisker is smaller than the lower one and there is a value that can be considered an outlier.

Altogether you can say that the distribution of the data set is skewed to the left.

b)

To estimate the population mean you need the population to be at least normal. The box plot shows that the distribution is not symmetrical but, considering that the sample size is n= 48 you can apply the Central Limit Theorem and approximate the sampling distribution to normal.

X[bar]≈N(μ;σ²)

As the distribution is approximate, using the sample standard deviation (since we don't know the population value) for the distribution standard deviation is also valid ⇒

X[bar] ± *

∑X= 2626 ∑X²= 144950 n= 48

X[bar]= ∑X/n= 2626/48= 54.71

S²= 1/n[∑X²- (∑X)²/n]= 1/47[144950-(2626)²/48]= 27.36

S= 5.23

54.71 ± 1.96 *

[53.22; 56.18]kV

c)

95% CI

amplitude a=2 kV  i.e. semi amplitude d= 1 kV

The semi amplitude or margin of error for the CI can be calculated as:

d= *

From this formula you can clear the sample size

percentage - 25%

probability - 0.25

we know,

total amount of students in class = 20

total boys = 10

total girls = 10

no of girls who wear glasses = 10/2 = 5

probability of choosing a girl with glasses is =

number of girls wearing glasses/total number of students in the class = 5/20

thus, percentage of selecting a girl wearing glasses will be

= 5/20 × 100

= 5 × 5

25%

therefore,

probability will be 0.25
