Question

Answer 1

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval for the average hourly wage of all information system managers is (39.14,42.36)

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to calculate the 95% confidence interval for the average hourly wage we would have to calculate first the margin of error as follows:

ME=t0.05/2,n-1s/√n

for n=75, t0.025,74=1.993

Therefore, ME=1.993*7/√75

ME=1.61

Therefore, the 95% confidence interval for the average hourly income of all syatem manager would be as follows:

(X-ME,X+ME)=(40.75-1.61,40.75+1.61)

=(39.14,42.36)
