A population has a standard deviation of 25 and a mean of 300. Given a random sample of size 100, how likely is it that the sample mean will be within +/- 5 of the population mean?
mean = =300
Standard deviation =25
Sample size =n=100
Standard error= = =2.5
Marin or error = 2* standard error = 2*2.5 = 5
We are 95% confident thatpopulation mean falls within +-5
population mean =+-margin of error =+-5=300+-5 =(295,305)
