Answer:
The best point estimate for a confidence interval estimating the population μ is 16 ounces.
The 98 percent confidence interval for the population mean μ is between 15.21 ounces and 16.79 ounces.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have the standard deviation for the sample, so we use the t-distribution to solve this question.
The best point estimate for a confidence interval estimating the population μ is
The sample mean, so 16 ounces.
T interval
The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So
df = 102 - 1 = 101
98% confidence interval
Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 101 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of . So we have T = 2.36
The margin of error is:
In which s is the standard deviation of the sample and n is the size of the sample.
The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 16 - 0.79 = 15.21 ounces
The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 16 + 0.79 = 16.79 ounces
The 98 percent confidence interval for the population mean μ is between 15.21 ounces and 16.79 ounces.
By the way, Google has a built in calculator. You can just type in "321.5 kmph in mph" and it will come up with this answer.
You could also use the fact that
According to the properties of equality, if you have two equal expressions and you change them in the same way, the results wil also be equal.
So that means we can multiply each side by 321.5 and get our answer above.
