Answer 1

Question 1

Confidence Interval
X̅ ± t(α/2, n-1) S/√(n)
t(α/2, n-1) = t(0.05 /2, 25- 1 ) = 2.064
28 ± t(0.05/2, 25 -1) * 7.5/√(25)
Lower Limit = 28 - t(0.05/2, 25 -1) 7.5/√(25)
Lower Limit = 24.904
Upper Limit = 28 + t(0.05/2, 25 -1) 7.5/√(25)
Upper Limit = 31.096
95% Confidence interval is ( 24.904 , 31.096 )

A. 24.904 to 31.096

Question 2

Confidence Interval
X̅ ± t(α/2, n-1) S/√(n)
