You intend to estimate a population mean μ from the following sample. 26.2 27.7 8.6 3.8 11.6 You believe the population is normally distributed. Find the 80% confidence interval.  Enter your answer as an open-interval (i.e., parentheses) accurate to twp decimal places.

Answer:

The  Confidence interval = (8.98 , 22.18)

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information:

mean = \dfrac{ 26.2+ 27.7+ 8.6+ 3.8 +11.6 }{5}

mean = 15.58

the standard deviation \sigma = \sqrt{\dfrac{\sum(x_i - \mu)^2 }{n}}

the standard deviation = \sqrt{\dfrac{(26.2  - 15.58)^2 +(27.7 - 15.58)^2 +(8.6  - 15.58)^2 + (3.8  - 15.58)^2  + (11.6  - 15.58)^2  }{5 }  }

standard deviation = 9.62297

Degrees of freedom df = n-1

Degrees of freedom df = 5 - 1

Degrees of freedom df = 4

For df  at 4 and 80% confidence level, the critical value t from t table  = 1.533

The Margin of Error M.O.E = t \times \dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

The Margin of Error M.O.E = 1.533 \times \dfrac{9.62297}{\sqrt{5}}

The Margin of Error M.O.E = 1.533 \times 4.3035

The Margin of Error M.O.E = 6.60

The  Confidence interval = ( \mu  \pm M.O.E )

The  Confidence interval = ( \mu  +  M.O.E , \mu - M.O.E )

The  Confidence interval = ( 15.58 - 6.60 , 15.58 + 6.60)

The  Confidence interval = (8.98 , 22.18)
