Expert Solution
Solution :
Given that,
= 3
= 0.3
n = 36
At 99% confidence level the z is ,
= 1 - 99% = 1 - 0.99 =
0.01
/ 2 = 0.01 / 2 = 0.005
Z/2 = Z0.005 = 2.576
Margin of error = E = Z/2* ( /
= 2.576 * (0.3 /
= 0.1288
At 99% confidence interval estimate of the population mean is,
- E < 
< + E
3 - 0.1288 < < 3 + 0.1288
2.8712< < 3.1288
(2.8712 , 3.1288 )

Suppose we are interested in the mean scores on an exam.
A random sample of 36 scores is taken and gives a sample mean
(sample mean score) of 68 (x̄ = 68). In this example, we have the
unusual knowledge that the population standard deviation is 3
points. Do not count on knowing the population parameters outside
of textbook examples.
