Answer:

1a)Confidence Interval: (77.936,82.064)

b)Confidence Interval: (79.020, 80.980)

c)Confidence Interval: (79.510, 80.490)

d) As the sample size increases, the confidence interval for the lower class (bound) increases while that of the upper class(bound) decreases.

2a)Confidence Interval: (491.609

, 502.797)

b)Confidence Interval: (483.218, 516.782)

c)Confidence Interval: (466.436,533.564)

d)As the standard deviation increases, the confidence interval for the lower class (bound) decreases while that of the upper class(bound) increases.

Step-by-step explanation:

1 a) A random sample of 25 was drawn from a normal distribution with a standard deviation of 5. The sample mean is 80.

The formula for confidence Interval is:

C.I = Mean ± z score × Standard deviation/√n

Note to apply the formula above n greater than or equal to 30

a) Determine the 95% confidence interval estimate of the population mean.

For a, the confidence interval formula above cannot be applied because n is less than 30, so we use the t score confidence interval value

C.I = Mean ± t score × Standard deviation/√n

Mean = 80

Standard deviation = 5

n = 25

Degree of freedom = 25 - 1 = 24

Hence, 95% confidence interval degree of freedom t score = 2.064

Hence, Confidence Interval =

80 ± 2.064 × 5/√25

80 ± 2.064 × 1

80 ± 2.064

Confidence Interval =

80 - 2.064

= 77.936

80 + 2.064

= 82.064

Confidence Interval: (77.936, 82.064)

b) Repeat part (a) with a sample size of 100.

C.I = Mean ± z score × Standard deviation/√n

Mean = 80

Standard deviation = 5

n = 100

z score for 95% confidence interval = 1.96

C.I = 80 ± 1.96 × 5/√100

C.I = 80 ± 1.96 × 5/10

C.I = 80 ± 1.96 × 0.5

C.I = 80 ± 0.980

Confidence Interval =

80 - 0.980

= 79.020

80 + 0.980

= 80.980

Confidence Interval: (79.020, 80.980)

c) Repeat part (a) with a sample size of 400.

C.I = Mean ± z score × Standard deviation/√n

Mean = 80

Standard deviation = 5

n = 400

z score for 95% confidence interval = 1.96

C.I = 80 ± 1.96 × 5/√400

C.I = 80 ± 1.96 × 5/20

C.I = 80 ± 1.96 × 0.25

C.I = 80 ± 0.490

Confidence Interval =

80 - 0.490

= 79.510

80 + 0.490

= 80.490

Confidence Interval: (79.510, 80.490)

d) As the sample size increases, the confidence interval for the lower class (bound) increases while that of the upper class(bound) decreases.

2a) The mean of a sample of 25 was calculated as ¯x=500. The sample was randomly drawn from a population with a standard deviation of 15.

For a,b and c the confidence interval formula above cannot be applied because n is less than 30, so we use the t score confidence interval value

C.I = Mean ± t score × Standard deviation/√n

a) Mean = 500

Standard deviation = 15

n = 25

Degree of freedom = 25 - 1 = 24

Hence, 99% confidence interval degree of freedom t score = 2.064

Hence, Confidence Interval =

500 ± 2.797 × 15/√25

500 ± 2.797 × 15/5

500 ± 2.797 × 3

Confidence Interval =

500 - 8.391

= 491.609

500 + 8.391

= 508.391

Confidence Interval: (491.609, 508.391)

b) Repeat part (a) changing the population standard deviation to 30

Hence, Confidence Interval =

500 ± 2.797 × 30/√25

500 ± 2.797 × 30/5

500 ± 2.797 × 6

500 ± 16.782

Confidence Interval =

500 - 16.782

= 483.218

500 + 16.782

= 516.782

Confidence Interval: (483.218, 516.782)

c) Repeat part(a) changing to the population standard deviation to 60.

Hence, Confidence Interval =

500 ± 2.797 × 60/√25

500 ± 2.797 × 60/5

500 ± 2.797 × 12

500 ± 33.564

Confidence Interval =

500 - 33.564

= 466.436

500 + 33.564

= 533.564

Confidence Interval: (466.436,533.564)

d)As the standard deviation increases, the confidence interval for the lower class (bound) decreases while that of the upper class(bound) increases.
