GIVEN:
Population standard deviation
When the population standard deviation is known, the formula for a confidence interval (CI) for a population mean is given by,
where
is the sample mean.
is the population standard deviation.
n is the sample size, and
z* represents the appropriate z*-value from the standard normal distribution for desired confidence level.
For the given problem the z*-value from the standard normal distribution for 95% confidence level is 1.96.
SAMPLE 1 (COMMERCIAL TYPE):
Let us consider sample 1 (commercial type)
Total number of observations from sample 1 (n) = 171
The sample mean is defined as the average of n observations from the sample and it is considered to be the estimate of pupulation mean.
I have used excel function to find the sample mean given by,
"=AVERAGE(select array of values from sample 1)"
Thus the mean of sample 1
Population standard deviation
The z*-value from the standard normal distribution for 95% confidence level is 1.96.
The 95% confidence interval (CI) for a population mean is given by,






Thus
95% confidence interval for mean loan amount in the sample 1
(Commercial Type) is
.
SAMPLE 2 (CONSUMER TYPE):
Let us consider sample 2 (consumer type)
Total number of observations from sample 2 (n) = 116
The sample mean is defined as the average of n observations from the sample and it is considered to be the estimate of pupulation mean.
I have used excel function to find the sample mean given by,
"=AVERAGE(select array of values from sample 2)"
Thus
the mean of sample 2
Population standard deviation
The z*-value from the standard normal distribution for 95% confidence level is 1.96.
The 95% confidence interval (CI) for a population mean is given by,






Thus
95% confidence interval for mean loan amount in the sample 2
(Consumer Type) is
SAMPLE 3 (REAL ESTATE TYPE):
Let us consider sample 3 (Real estate type)
Total number of observations from sample 3 (n) = 63
The sample mean is defined as the average of n observations from the sample and it is considered to be the estimate of pupulation mean.
I have used excel function to find the sample mean given by,
"=AVERAGE(select array of values from sample 2)"
Thus
the mean of sample 3
Population standard deviation
The z*-value from the standard normal distribution for 95% confidence level is 1.96.
The 95% confidence interval (CI) for a population mean is given by,






Thus
95% confidence interval for mean loan amount in the sample 3 (Real
Estate Type) is
