- Scores on an exam are normally distributed woth a population standard deviation of 5.6. A random sample of 40 scores on the exam has a mean of 32 estimate the population mean with - A) 80% confidence - B) 90% - C) 98%

Respuesta :

Answer: i think i got b or c onr of them are correct  :)

Step-by-step explanation:

The estimated population mean with

80% confidence =  [30.856, 33.135]

90% confidence = [30.543, 33.456]

98% confidence =  [29.94, 34.06]

What is confidence interval?

For a population with unknown mean  and known standard deviation , a confidence interval for the population mean, based on a simple random sample of size n, is [tex]\bar x +_{-}z^{*}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} }[/tex] , where z* is the upper (1-C)/2 critical value for the standard normal distribution.

Population standard deviation = 5.6

Sample mean = 32

Sample size = 40

Given confidence level = 80%

[tex]z^{*}[/tex] at 80% confidence level = 1.28

Upper confidence interval = 33.135

Lower confidence interval = 30.865

Population mean lies between [30.856, 33.135] at 80% confidence level.

Given confidence level = 90%

[tex]z^{*}[/tex] at 90% confidence level = 1.65

Upper confidence interval =33.456

Lower confidence interval = 30.543

Population mean lies between [30.543, 33.456] at 90% confidence level.

Given confidence level = 98%

[tex]z^{*}[/tex] at 98% confidence level = 1.65

Upper confidence interval = 34.06

Lower confidence interval = 29.94

Population mean lies between [29.94, 34.06] at 98% confidence level.
