A chemist examines 15 geological samples for potassium chloride concentration. The mean potassium chloride concentration for the

sample data is 0.376 cc/cubic meter with a standard deviation of 0.0012. Determine the 95% confidence interval for the population mean potassium chloride concentration. Assume the population is approximately normal.
Required:
Find the critical value that should be used in constructing the confidence interval. Round your answer to three decimal places.

Answer:

95% Confidence interval: (0.375,0.377)

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Sample mean, \bar{x} = 0.376 cc/cubic meter

Sample size, n = 15

Alpha, α = 0.05

Sample standard deviation, s = 0.0012

Degree of freedom =

=n-1\\=15-1\\=14

95% Confidence interval:  

\bar{x} \pm t_{critical}\displaystyle\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}  

Putting the values, we get,  

t_{critical}\text{ at degree of freedom 14 and}~\alpha_{0.05} = \pm 2.145  

0.376 \pm 2.145(\dfrac{0.0012}{\sqrt{15}} )\\\\ = 0.376 \pm 0.0006\\\\ = (0.3754,0.3766)\approx (0.375,0.377)  

(0.375,0.377) is the required 95% confidence interval for the population mean potassium chloride concentration.
