Answer:

99% confidence interval for the population​ mean is [19.891 , 24.909].

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a group of 19 randomly selected students has a mean age of 22.4 years with a standard deviation of 3.8 years.

Assuming the population has a normal distribution.

Firstly, the pivotal quantity for 99% confidence interval for the population​ mean is given by;

         P.Q. = \frac{\bar X - \mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } } ~ t_n_-_1

where, \bar X = sample mean age of selected students = 22.4 years

             s = sample standard deviation = 3.8 years

             n = sample of students = 19

             \mu = population mean

<em>Here for constructing 99% confidence interval we have used t statistics because we don't know about population standard deviation.</em>

So, 99% confidence interval for the population​ mean, \mu is ;

P(-2.878 < t_1_8 < 2.878) = 0.99  {As the critical value of t at 18 degree of

                                                freedom are -2.878 & 2.878 with P = 0.5%}

P(-2.878 < \frac{\bar X - \mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } } < 2.878) = 0.99

P( -2.878 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } } < {\bar X - \mu} < 2.878 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } } ) = 0.99

P( \bar X -2.878 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } < \mu < \bar X +2.878 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } ) = 0.99

<u>99% confidence interval for</u> \mu = [ \bar X -2.878 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } , \bar X +2.878 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } ]

                                                 = [ 22.4 -2.878 \times {\frac{3.8}{\sqrt{19} } , 22.4 +2.878 \times {\frac{3.8}{\sqrt{19} } ]

                                                 = [19.891 , 24.909]

Therefore, 99% confidence interval for the population​ mean is [19.891 , 24.909].
