By assuming the standard deviation of population 2.2 the confidence interval is 8.67 toys,8.94 toys.
Given sample size of 1492 children,99% confidence interval , sample mean of 8.8, population standard deviation=2.2.
This type of problems can be solved through z test and in z test we have to first find the z score and then p value from normal distribution table.
First we have to find the value of α which can be calculated as under:
α=(1-0.99)/2=0.005
p=1-0.005=0.995
corresponding z value will be 2.575 for p=0.995 .
Margin of error=z*x/d
where x is mean and d is standard deviation.
M=2.575*2.2/
=0.14
So the lower value will be x-M
=8.8-0.14
=8.66
=8.67 ( after rounding)
The upper value will be x+M
=8.8+0.14
=8.94
Hence the confidence interval will be 8.67 toys and 8.94 toys.

Using the equation of the test statistic, it is found that with an increased sample size, the test statistic would decrease and the p-value would increase.
<h3>How to find the p-value of a test?</h3>
It depends on the test statistic z, as follows.
- For a left-tailed test, it is the area under the normal curve to the left of z, which is the <u>p-value of z</u>.
- For a right-tailed test, it is the area under the normal curve to the right of z, which is <u>1 subtracted by the p-value of z</u>.
- For a two-tailed test, it is the area under the normal curve to the left of -z combined with the area to the right of z, hence it is <u>2 multiplied by 1 subtracted by the p-value of z</u>.
In all cases, a higher test statistic leads to a lower p-value, and vice-versa.
<h3>What is the equation for the test statistic?</h3>
The equation is given by:

The parameters are:
is the sample mean.
is the tested value.
- s is the standard deviation.
From this, it is taken that if the sample size was increased with all other parameters remaining the same, the test statistic would decrease, and the p-value would increase.
