Construct the confidence interval for the population mean μ, if c = .95, | ||||
x-bar = 11.000, s = .4, and n = 100. |
Solution :
Given that,
s =0.4
n =100
Degrees of freedom = df = n - 1 = 100- 1 = 99
At 95% confidence level the t is ,
t
/2,df = t0.025,99 = 1.984 ( using student t
table)
Margin of error = E = t/2,df
* (s /
n)
=0.0794
The 95% confidence interval estimate of the population mean is,
11.000 - 0.0794 <
<11.000+ 0.0794
( 10.9206, 11.0794 )
