What is the confidence interval estimate of the population mean percentage change in the price per share of stock during the fir

Answer:
(-0.1059 ; - 0.0337)
Step-by-step explanation:
The data table is attached in the picture below:
These is a matched pair design ; which requires taking the difference of the two values for each sample :
The mean and standard deviation of the difference will be used to construct the confidence interval :
The mean of difference, dbar = Σx/n = - 0.0698
The standard deviation of difference, Sd ;
Sd = [√Σ(d - dbar)²/(n-1)] = 0.1054
n = sample size = 25
The confidence interval :
dbar ± [TCritical * Sd/√n]
Tcritical at 90% ; df = n -1 = 25 -1
Tcritical(90% , 24) = 1.1711
C.I = - 0.0698 ± (1.711 * 0.1054/√25)
C.I = - 0.0698 ± 0.0361
C.I = (-0.1059 ; - 0.0337)

The main rule we use in this exercise is
and the more general case:
![( \sqrt[n]{a} ) ^{m} =( a^{ \frac{1}{n}} )^{m} = a^{ \frac{1}{n}*m}=a^{ \frac{m}{n}}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%28%20%20%5Csqrt%5Bn%5D%7Ba%7D%20%20%29%20%5E%7Bm%7D%20%3D%28%20a%5E%7B%20%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7Bn%7D%7D%20%29%5E%7Bm%7D%20%3D%20a%5E%7B%20%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7Bn%7D%2Am%7D%3Da%5E%7B%20%5Cfrac%7Bm%7D%7Bn%7D%7D)
Using these rules, we make all the indices, or exponents, look like
, and compare them to each other.
