Consider a normal population distribution with the value of \( \sigma \) known. USE SALT (a) What is the confidence level for the interval \( \bar{x} \pm 2.88 \sigma / \sqrt{n} \) ? (Round your answer to one decimal place.) \( \square \) \( \% \) (b) What is the confidence level for the interval \( \bar{x} \pm 1.45 \sigma / \sqrt{n} \) ? (Round your answer to one decimal place.) \( \square \) \( \% \) (c) What value of \( z_{a / 2} \) in the CI formula below results in a confidence level of \( 99.7 \% \) ? (Round your answer to two decimal places.) \[ \begin{aligned} & \left(\bar{x}-z_{a / 2} \cdot \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}, \bar{x}+z_{a / 2} \cdot \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}\right) \\ z_{a / 2}= & \end{aligned} \] (d) Answer the question posed in part (c) for a confidence level of \( 70 \% \). (Round your answer to two decimal places.) \[ z_{a / 2}=\square \] You may need to use the appropriate table in the Appendix of Tables to answer this question.

Step 1
88 \sigma / \sqrt{n} \). - The value 2.88 represents the \( z \)-score in the confidence interval formula. To find the confidence level corresponding to this \( z \)-score, look up the cumulative probability for \( z = 2.88 \) in the standard normal distribution Show more…
