A random sample of the price of gasoline from 30 gas stations in a region gives the statistics below.
y overbary =$3.293.29,
s =$0.24
a) Find a 95% confidence interval for the mean price of regular gasoline in that region.
b) Find the 90% confidence interval for the mean
c) If we had the same statistics from the sample of 80 stations, what would the 95% confidence interval be now?
a) The 95% confidence interval for the mean price of regular gasoline in that region is ,
; ; From Excel , =TINV(0.05,29)
b) The 90% confidence interval for the mean price of regular gasoline in that region is ,
; ; From Excel , =TINV(0.10,29)
c) Since , n=80
a) The 95% confidence interval for the mean price of regular gasoline in that region is ,
; ; From Excel , =TINV(0.05,79)
