題目 1 · 短題目
5 分The lifetime of a certain model of wireless earbuds follows a normal distribution with a standard deviation of \(1.2\) hours. A random sample of \(64\) earbuds is selected and the sample mean lifetime is found to be \(8.5\) hours.
(a) Construct a \(95\%\) confidence interval for the population mean lifetime of this model of earbuds.
(2 marks)
(b) Suppose another random sample of size \(n\) is selected. Find the minimum value of \(n\) such that the width of the \(95\%\) confidence interval for the population mean lifetime is at most \(0.4\) hours.

解題
(a) A \(95\%\) confidence interval for the population mean \(\mu\) is
\[ \left( 8.5 - 1.96 \cdot \frac{1.2}{\sqrt{64}},\, 8.5 + 1.96 \cdot \frac{1.2}{\sqrt{64}} \right) = (8.5 - 0.294,\, 8.5 + 0.294) = (8.206,\, 8.794) \]
(b) The width of the \(95\%\) confidence interval is \(2(1.96)\left(\frac{1.2}{\sqrt{n}}\right)\).
We require:
\[ 2(1.96)\left(\frac{1.2}{\sqrt{n}}\right) \le 0.4 \]
\[ \frac{4.704}{\sqrt{n}} \le 0.4 \]
\[ \sqrt{n} \ge \frac{4.704}{0.4} = 11.76 \]
\[ n \ge 11.76^2 = 138.2976 \]
Since \(n\) must be an integer, the minimum value of \(n\) is \(139\).
\[ \left( 8.5 - 1.96 \cdot \frac{1.2}{\sqrt{64}},\, 8.5 + 1.96 \cdot \frac{1.2}{\sqrt{64}} \right) = (8.5 - 0.294,\, 8.5 + 0.294) = (8.206,\, 8.794) \]
(b) The width of the \(95\%\) confidence interval is \(2(1.96)\left(\frac{1.2}{\sqrt{n}}\right)\).
We require:
\[ 2(1.96)\left(\frac{1.2}{\sqrt{n}}\right) \le 0.4 \]
\[ \frac{4.704}{\sqrt{n}} \le 0.4 \]
\[ \sqrt{n} \ge \frac{4.704}{0.4} = 11.76 \]
\[ n \ge 11.76^2 = 138.2976 \]
Since \(n\) must be an integer, the minimum value of \(n\) is \(139\).
