An Experiment Was Performed on a Certain Metal to Determine $\beta$

question 20

Multiple Choice

An experiment was performed on a certain metal to determine if the strength is a function of heating time.95% confidence interval for the average strength of a metal sheet when the average heating time is 4 minutes is from 4.325 to 5.675.Therefore,we are confident at $\beta$ = .05 that the average strength of metal heated for four minutes is between 4.325 and 5.675 pounds per square inch.Do you agree or disagree with this statement?

• A)Agree
• B)Disagree
