Students in a statistics class are conducting a survey to estimate the mean number of units students at their college are enroll

ed in. The students collect a random sample of 45 students. The mean of the sample is 12.1 units. The sample has a standard deviation of 1.5 units. What is the 95% confidence interval for the average number of units that students in their college are enrolled in

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval for the average number of units that students in their college are enrolled in is between 11.7 and 12.5 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the standard deviation for the sample, so we use the t-distribution to solve this question.

The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So

df = 45 - 1 = 44

95% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 44 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of 1 - \frac{1 - 0.95}{2} = 0.975. So we have T = 2

The margin of error is:

M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 2\frac{1.5}{\sqrt{45}} = 0.4

In which s is the standard deviation of the sample and n is the size of the sample.

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 12.1 - 0.4 = 11.7 units

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 12.1 + 0.4 = 12.5 units

The 95% confidence interval for the average number of units that students in their college are enrolled in is between 11.7 and 12.5 units.

Reliance on solid biomass fuel for cooking and heating exposes many children from developing countries to high levels of indoor
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

A) 95% confidence interval for the population mean PEF for children in biomass households = (3.214, 3.386)

95% confidence interval for the population mean PEF for children in LPG households

= (4.125, 4.375)

Simultaneous confidence interval for both = (3.214, 4.375)

B) The result of the hypothesis test is significant, hence, the true average PEF is lower for children in biomass households than it is for children in LPG households.

C) 95% confidence interval for the population mean FEY for children in biomass households = (2.264, 2.336)

Simultaneous confidence interval for both = (2.264, 4.375)

This simultaneous interval cannot be the same as that calculated in (a) above because the sample mean obtained for children in biomass households here (using FEY) is much lower than that obtained using PEF in (a).

Step-by-step explanation:

A) Confidence Interval for the population mean is basically an interval of range of values where the true population mean can be found with a certain level of confidence.

Mathematically,

Confidence Interval = (Sample mean) ± (Margin of error)

Margin of Error is the width of the confidence interval about the mean.

It is given mathematically as,

Margin of Error = (Critical value) × (standard Error of the mean)

Critical value will be obtained using the z-distribution. This is because although, there is no information provided for the population standard deviation, the sample sizes are large enough for the sample properties to approximate the population properties.

Finding the critical value from the z-tables,

Significance level for 95% confidence interval

= (100% - 95%)/2 = 2.5% = 0.025

z (0.025) = 1.960 (from the z-tables)

For the children in the biomass households

Sample mean = 3.30

Standard error of the mean = σₓ = (σ/√N)

σ = standard deviation of the sample = 1.20

N = sample size = 755

σₓ = (1.20/√755) = 0.0436724715 = 0.04367

95% Confidence Interval = (Sample mean) ± [(Critical value) × (standard Error of the mean)]

CI = 3.30 ± (1.960 × 0.04367)

CI = 3.30 ± 0.085598

95% CI = (3.214402, 3.385598)

95% Confidence interval = (3.214, 3.386)

For the children in the LPG households

Sample mean = 4.25

Standard error of the mean = σₓ = (σ/√N)

σ = standard deviation of the sample = 1.75

N = sample size = 750

σₓ = (1.75/√750) = 0.063900965 = 0.063901

95% Confidence Interval = (Sample mean) ± [(Critical value) × (standard Error of the mean)]

CI = 4.25 ± (1.960 × 0.063901)

CI = 4.25 ± 0.125246

95% CI = (4.12475404, 4.37524596)

95% Confidence interval = (4.125, 4.375)

Simultaneous confidence interval for both = (3.214, 4.375)

B) The null hypothesis usually goes against the claim we are trying to test and would be that the true average PEF for children in biomass households is not lower than that of children in LPG households.

The alternative hypothesis confirms the claim we are testing and is that the true average PEF is lower for children in biomass households than it is for children in LPG households.

Mathematically, if the true average PEF for children in biomass households is μ₁, the true average PEF for children in LPG households is μ₂ and the difference is μ = μ₁ - μ₂

The null hypothesis is

H₀: μ ≥ 0 or μ₁ ≥ μ₂

The alternative hypothesis is

Hₐ: μ < 0 or μ₁ < μ₂

Test statistic for 2 sample mean data is given as

Test statistic = (μ₂ - μ₁)/σ

σ = √[(s₂²/n₂) + (s₁²/n₁)]

μ₁ = 3.30

n₁ = 755

s₁ = 1.20

μ₂ = 4.25

n₂ = 750

s₂ = 1.75

σ = √[(1.20²/755) + (1.75²/750)] = 0.07740

z = (3.30 - 4.25) ÷ 0.07740 = -12.27

checking the tables for the p-value of this z-statistic

Significance level = 0.01

The hypothesis test uses a one-tailed condition because we're testing in only one direction.

p-value (for z = -12.27, at 0.01 significance level, with a one tailed condition) = < 0.000000001

The interpretation of p-values is that

When the p-value > significance level, we fail to reject the null hypothesis and when the p-value < significance level, we reject the null hypothesis and accept the alternative hypothesis.

Significance level = 0.01

p-value = 0.000000001

0.000000001 < 0.01

Hence,

p-value < significance level

This means that we reject the null hypothesis, accept the alternative hypothesis & say that true average PEF is lower for children in biomass households than it is for children in LPG households.

C) For FEY for biomass households,

Sample mean = 2.3 L/s

Standard error of the mean = σₓ = (σ/√N)

σ = standard deviation = 0.5

N = sample size = 755

σₓ = (0.5/√755) = 0.0182

95% Confidence Interval = (Sample mean) ± [(Critical value) × (standard Error of the mean)]

CI = 2.30 ± (1.960 × 0.0182)

CI = 2.30 ± 0.03567

95% CI = (2.264, 2.336)

Simultaneous confidence interval for both = (2.264, 4.375)

This simultaneous interval cannot be the same as that calculated in (a) above because the sample mean obtained for children in biomass households here (using FEY) is much lower than that obtained using PEF in (a).

Hope this Helps!!!
