Using the t-distribution, the 96% confidence interval is given as follows:
(18.96, 21.04).
<h3>What is a t-distribution confidence interval?</h3>
The confidence interval is:

In which:
is the sample mean.
- s is the standard deviation for the sample.
The critical value, using a t-distribution calculator, for a two-tailed 96% confidence interval, with 100 - 1 = 99 df, is t = 2.0812.
The parameters are given as follows:

Hence the bounds of the interval are:

Answer:
1.92 or 4.56 answer when rounded to 100th
Answer:
d) The difference exists due to chance since the test statistic is small
Step-by-step explanation:
From the given information:
Population mean = 178 cm
the sample mean = 177.5 cm
the standard deviation = 2
the sample size = 25
The null hypothesis and the alternative hypothesis can be computed as:
Null hypothesis:

Alternative hypothesis:

The t-test statistics is determined by using the formula:




Degree of freedom df = n- 1
Degree of freedom df = 25 - 1
Degree of freedom df = 24
At the level of significance ∝ = 0.05, the critical value = 2.064
Decision rule: To reject the null hypothesis if the test statistics is greater than the critical value at 0.05 level of significance
Conclusion: We fail to reject the null hypothesis since the test statistics is lesser than the critical value and we conclude that the difference exists due to chance since the test statistic is small
