Given:
Sample size, n = 40
Sample mean, xb = $6.88
Population std. deviation, σ = $1.92 (known)
Confidence interval = 90%
Assume normal distribution for the population.
The confidence interval is
(xb + 1.645*(σ/√n), xb - 1.645*(σ/√n)
= (6.88 + (1.645*1.92)/√40, 6.88 - (1.645*1.92)/√40)
= (7.38, 6.38)
Answer: The 90% confidence interval is (7.38, 6.38)
The answer is A
10-2sqrt21
It looks difficult but it’s pretty easy. Just use the Ln function to bring down the powers then simplify.
This is a difference of two squares so we will have two binomials as our factors.
