Question

1. Suppose that against a certain opponent the number of points the MIT basketball team scores is normally distributed with unknown mean $\theta$ and unknown variance $\sigma^2$. Suppose that over the course of the last 10 games between the two teams MIT scored the following points: 59, 62, 59, 74, 70, 61, 62, 66, 62, 75. (a) Compute a 95% t-confidence interval for $\theta$. We compute the data mean and variance $\bar{x} = 65, s^2 = 35.778$.

Step 1

The number of games, $n = 10$. The sample mean, $\bar{x} = 65$. The sample variance, $s^2 = 35.778$. The confidence level is 95%. We need to compute a 95% t-confidence interval for the unknown mean $\theta$. Show more…
