Expert Solution

sample standard deviation, s = 6.7756
sample size, n = 12

std.error = 6.7756/sqrt(12)
= 1.9559

sample size, n = 12
degrees of freedom, df = n - 1 = 11

Given CI level is 98%, hence α = 1 - 0.98 = 0.02
α/2 = 0.02/2 = 0.01, tc = t(α/2, df) = 2.718

Critical value = 2.718
c)

sample mean, xbar = 17.5
sample standard deviation, s = 6.7756
sample size, n = 12
degrees of freedom, df = n - 1 = 11

Given CI level is 98%, hence α = 1 - 0.98 = 0.02
α/2 = 0.02/2 = 0.01, tc = t(α/2, df) = 2.718

ME = tc * s/sqrt(n)
ME = 2.718 * 6.7756/sqrt(12)
ME = 5.316

CI = (xbar - tc * s/sqrt(n) , xbar + tc * s/sqrt(n))
CI = (17.5 - 2.718 * 6.7756/sqrt(12) , 17.5 + 2.718 * 6.7756/sqrt(12))
CI = (12.18 , 22.82)
