8. A factory produces steel sheets whose weights \(X \mathrm {~kg}\), are such that \(X \sim \mathrm {~N} \left( \mu , \sigma ^ { 2 } \right)\)
A random sample of these sheets is taken and a \(95 \%\) confidence interval for \(\mu\) is found to be (29.74, 31.86)
- Find, to 2 decimal places, the standard error of the mean.
- Hence, or otherwise, find a \(90 \%\) confidence interval for \(\mu\) based on the same sample of sheets.
Using four different random samples, four \(90 \%\) confidence intervals for \(\mu\) are to be found.
- Calculate the probability that at least 3 of these intervals will contain \(\mu\).

A random sample of these sheets is taken and a \(95 \%\) confidence interval for \(\mu\) is found to
be \(( 29.74,31.86 )\) - Find, to 2 decimal places, the standard error of the mean.
- Hence, or otherwise, find a \(90 \%\) confidence interval for \(\mu\) based on the same sample
of sheets. (3)
