centimeters. (a) Construct a 98% confidence interval for the mean height of all college students. (b) What can we assert with 98% confidence about the possible size of our error if we estimate the mean height of all college students to be 174.5 centime- ters?

Answer:  a) (176.76,172.24), b) 0.976.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Mean height  = 174.5 cm

Standard deviation = 6.9 cm

n = 50

we need to find the 98% confidence interval.

So, z = 2.326

(a) Construct a 98% confidence interval for the mean height of all college students.

x\pm z\times \dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}\\\\=(174.5\pm 2.326\times \dfrac{6.9}{\sqrt{50}})\\\\=(174.5+2.26,174.5-2.26)\\\\=(176.76,172.24)

(b) What can we assert with 98% confidence about the possible size of our error if we estimate the mean height of all college students to be 174.5 centime- ters?

Error would be

\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}\\\\=\dfrac{6.9}{\sqrt{50}}\\\\=0.976

Hence, a) (176.76,172.24), b) 0.976.
