A sample of size n = 92 is drawn from a normal population whose standard deviation is ? = 8.2. The sample mean x? = 46.78. Part 1 of 2 (a) Construct a 99.9% confidence interval for ?. Round the answer to at least two decimal places. A 99.9% confidence interval for the mean is [ ] < ? < [ ]. Part 2 of 2 (b) If the population were not approximately normal, would the confidence interval constructed in part (a) be valid? Explain. The confidence interval constructed in part (a) (Choose one) would / would not be valid since the sample size (Choose one) is large.

Step 1
To construct a 99.990% confidence interval for the mean, we need to use the formula: CI = X ± Zα/2 * (σ/√n) where X is the sample mean, Zα/2 is the critical value from the standard normal distribution (which corresponds to the level of confidence), σ is the Show more…

A sample of size n = 58 is drawn from a normal population whose standard deviation is ̃ = 7.5. The sample mean is x = 49.73. (a) Construct a 99% confidence interval for ̃. Round the answer to at least two decimal places. (b) If the population were not approximately normal, would the confidence interval constructed in part (a) be valid? Explain.

Two independent random samples taken from two normally distributed populations with unknown but equal variances produced the following data. Which one of the following is the critical value used to form a 95% confidence interval for the difference of the two population means? Group 1: x̄1 = 13.34 s1 = 3.4 n1 = 12 Group 2: x̄2 = 15.56 s2 = 2.4 n2 = 9
