Answer 1

Answer:

To calculate the confidence interval we need to calculate the mean and standard deviation of the given data set as:

The mean is calculated as:

Mean = (54.76943 + 49.78428 + 59.73031 + ...................+ 54.87766 + 51.85311)/100
= 5414.29036/100

Mean = 54.1429

and the standard deviation is:

s = 6.0224

a) The confidence interval is calculated as:

μ = ± t(sM)

where:

= sample mean
t = t statistic determined by confidence level and the degree of freedom n - 1 = 100-1= 99.
sM = standard error = √(s2/n)

so,

= 54.1429
t = 2.63 calculated using excel formula for t-distribution which takes the degree of frredom and level of significance as parameters, the formula used is =T.INV.2T(0.01, 99)
sM = √(6.02242/100) = 0.6

μ = M ± t(sM)
μ = 54.1429 ± 2.63*0.6
μ = 54.1429 ± 1.581726

Thus the two-sided confidence interval is:

Lower bound = 52.5612,

Upper bound = 55.7246

b) The confidence interval at 95% confidence interval is computed as:

= 54.1429
t = 1.98 calculated using excel formula for t-distribution which takes the degree of frredom and level of significance as parameters, the formula used is =T.INV.2T(0.05, 99)
sM = √(6.02242/100) = 0.6

μ = ± t(sM)
μ = 54.1429 ± 1.98*0.6
μ = 54.1429 ± 1.194975

The confidence interval is expressed as:

The lower limit is: 52.9479

c) The confidence interval at 85% confidence interval is calculated as:

= 54.1429
t = 1.45 calculated using excel formula for t-distribution which takes the degree of frredom and level of significance as parameters, the formula used is =T.INV.2T(0.15, 99)
sM = √(6.02242/100) = 0.6

μ = ± t(sM)
μ = 54.1429 ± 1.45*0.6
μ = 54.1429 ± 0.0874

The confidence interval is expressed as:

The Upper limit is: 54.2303
