A population is known to be normally distributed with a standard deviation of 2.8. (a) Compute the 95% confidence interval on th

e mean based on the following sample of nine: 8, 9, 10, 13, 14, 16, 17, 20, 21. (b) Now compute the 99% confidence interval using the same data.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean = sum of terms/number of terms

The mean of the given sample is

(8 + 9 + 10 + 13 + 14 + 16 + 17 + 20 + 21)/9 = 14.2

a)

For a confidence level of 95%, the corresponding z value is 1.96.

We will apply the formula

Confidence interval

= mean ± z ×standard deviation/√n

Where

n represents the number of samples

It becomes

14.2 ± 1.96 × 2.8/√9

= 14.2 ± 1.96 × 0.933

= 14.2 ± 1.83

The lower end of the confidence interval is 12.37

The upper end of the confidence interval is 16.03

b)

For a confidence level of 99%, the corresponding z value is 2.58

We will apply the formula

Confidence interval

= mean ± z ×standard deviation/√n

Where

n represents the number of samples

It becomes

14.2 ± 2.58 × 2.8/√9

= 14.2 ± 2.58 × 0.933

= 14.2 ± 2.4

The lower end of the confidence interval is 11.8

The upper end of the confidence interval is 16.6

Explain how finding 4 times 384 can help you find 4 times 5,384
Mumz [18]
Well, 5384 is 5000 bigger than 384. So you would add 20000 (4*5000) to the answer of 4*384, which is 1536.
So 1536+20000=21536
