Question: Redo Problem using a sample size n = 100 with the same mean and standard deviation. Compare and discuss your results.

Problem: The air quality in a building is of interest to an environmental engineer. The mean air quality is measured in the form of the amount of pollutant in the air in parts per million (ppm). The mean amount of pollutant can be assumed to have a normal probability distribution with a mean (μ) and standard deviation (σ). The standard deviation of pollutant (σ) is known to be 0.2 ppm. The air quality based on the records of the building has a mean of 3 ppm and a standard deviation of 0.2 ppm. A sample of n = 10 was collected. The sample resulted in a mean of 2.7 ppm. Determine:

(a) the posterior mean pollutant concentration,

(b) the posterior standard deviation, and
