Question:

A calibration laboratory has been measuring a one-kilogram check weight by the same procedure for several years. They have accumulated several hundred measurements, and the SD of these measurements is 18 micrograms. Someone now sends in a one-kilogram weight to be calibrated by the same procedure. The lab makes 50 measurements on the new weight, which average 78.1 micrograms above 1 kilogram, and their SD is 20 micrograms. Assume the Gauss model.

  1. What is the standard error of one measurement?
  2. What is the standard error of the average of 50 measurements?
  3. Find a 90%-confidence interval for how many micrograms this new weight is above 1 kilogram.
