A group of physical education majors was discussing the heights of female runners and whether female runners tended to be tall,

on the average. They decided to estimate the mean height of female runners. A sample of 12 runners showed a sample mean height of 65.80 inches and a sample standard deviation of 1.95 inches. Assume the population is approximately normal. Find a 90% confidence interval for the mean µ of the population of female runners from which the 12 runners were selected.

Answer:

The 90% confidence interval for the mean µ of the population of female runners.

( 65.0328 , 66.5672)

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step(i)</u>

Given  A sample of 12 runners showed a sample mean height of 65.80 inches and a sample standard deviation of 1.95 inches.

Given sample size is n = 12 <30 so small sample

Given sample mean (x⁻) = 65.80 inches

sample standard deviation (S) = 1.95 inches.

<u>Step(ii)</u>

Assume the population is approximately normal.

The 90% confidence interval for the mean µ of the population of female runners.

(x^{-} - t_{\alpha } \frac{S}{\sqrt{n} } ,x^{-} +t_{\alpha } \frac{S}{\sqrt{n} } )

substitute  all above interval

(65.80 - t_{\alpha } \frac{1.95}{\sqrt{12} } ,65.80 +t_{\alpha } \frac{1.95}{\sqrt{12} } )

The degrees of freedom γ=n-1 = 12-1=11

From t- table = 1.363 at 90 % 0r 0.10 level of significance

(65.80 -1.363 \frac{1.95}{\sqrt{12} } ,65.80 +1.363 \frac{1.95}{\sqrt{12} } )

on calculation , we get

(65.80 -0.7672 ,65.80 + 0.7672)

( 65.0328 , 66.5672)

Which answer is the best explanation for how to check to see that the difference has been calculated correctly for this problem?
scoundrel [369]
A. No, because if you add 76.5 and 4.32, you'll get 80.82 instead of 72.18.

B. Yes, because if you add 72.18 and 4.32 you'll get 76.5

C. No, because if you substract 4.32 from 72.18, you'll get 67.86 instead of 76.5.

D. No, because if you add 76.5 and 72.18, you'll get 144.65 instead of 4.32.

Correct answer: B
