We are willing to regard the wood pieces prepared for the lab session as an SRS of all similar pieces of Douglas fir. Engineers also commonly assume that characteristics of materials vary Normally. Suppose that the strength of pieces of wood like these follows a Normal distribution with standard deviation 3000 pounds.
PLAN: We will estimate ? by giving a 99% confidence interval.
SOLVE: Find the sample mean ?¯ . (Enter your answer rounded to the nearest whole number.)
