3 The masses of tins of a particular brand of spaghetti are normally distributed
with mean m grams and standard deviation 4.1 grams.
A random sample of 11 tins of spaghetti has a mean mass of 401.8 grams.
Construct a 98% confidence interval for m, giving your values to one decimal place.

A random sample of 8 observations of X has mean x ¼ 101:5 and gives the unbiased
estimate of the variance as s

¼ 4:8
The random sample is used to conduct a hypothesis test at the 10% level of
significance with the hypotheses
H0 : m ¼ 100
H1 : m 6¼ 100
Carry out the hypothesis test. [Show Less]
