Question

(See Section 7.3.) Silicone implant augmentation rhinoplasty is used to correct congenital nose deformities. The success of the procedure depends on various biomechanical properties of the human nasal periosteum and fascia. An article reported that for a sample of 13 (newly deceased) adults, the mean failure strain) was 26.0, and the standard deviation was 3.4 Assuming a normal distribution for failure strain, estimate true average strain in a way that conveys information about precision and reliability. (Use a 95% confidence interval. Round your answers to two decimal places.) 0 You may need to use the appropriate table in the Appendix of Tables (Table A.5) to answer this question

Explanation / Answer

The 95% CI is given by :

The Z value for 95% CI is 1.96

So, CI is :

= Xbar +/- Z*Stdev

= 26 +/- 1.96*3.4

= 19.34% to 32.66%
