A simple random sample of size n is drawn from a normally distributed population, and the mean of the sample is x Overbar, while the standard deviation is s. What is the 90% confidence interval for the population mean

Respuesta :

The mean of the sample is x-bar is determined to be 59.2 and population standard deviation, σ, is known to be 3.8. The 90% confidence interval about μ if the sample size, n, is 45 be  58.27< μ<60.13

A simple random sample of size n is drawn from a population whose population standard deviation, σ, is known to be 3.8. The sample mean, x-bar, is determined to be 59.2.

Hence,

n=45

σ=3.8

x-bar=59.2

The z value for the 90% confidence interval is z=1.645.

Then, μ=(x-bar)±(z×σ/[tex]\sqrt{n}[/tex])

μ=59.2±(1.645×3.8/[tex]\sqrt{45}[/tex])

μ=59.2±0.9318

59.2-0.9318<μ<59.2+0.9318

58.27< μ<60.13

Therefore, The 90% confidence interval about μ if the sample size, n, is 45 be  58.27< μ<60.13
