In: Statistics and Probability
A simple random sample of size n is drawn from a population that is normally distributed. The sample mean, x, is found to be 110, and the sample standard deviation, s, is found to be 10.
(a) Construct a 98% confidence interval about mu if the sample size, n, is 23.
(Use ascending order. Round to one decimal place as needed.)
Lower bound: ____
Upper bound:____
(b) Construct a 98% confidence interval about mu if the sample size, n, is 16.
Lower bound: ____
Upper bound:____
(c) Construct a 96% confidence interval about mu if the sample size, n, is 23.
Lower bound: ____
Upper bound:____
(d) Could we have computed the confidence intervals in parts (a)-(c) if the population had not been normally distributed?
