If the standard deviation of a population is known and we wish to estimate the population mean with 99% confidence, what is the appropriate critical value 'z' to use? 2.58 2.33 1.96 1.645 1.28

Assuming s is a “good” estimate of σ, the population standard deviation, what is the z value for a set containing 8 data points at 99 % confidence? 1.96 2.36 2.31 2.58

Suppose you needed to form a 92% confidence interval for a population mean. What z value would you use?

A) What is the critical value of z for a 99% confidence interval for a known standard deviation? B) A 99% confidence interval for the mean of a population was found to be (123.33, 140.67). If the sample size was 40, find the margin of error for this estimation. C) A 95% confidence interval for a population mean is (12.9, 18.6). Which of the following is the sample mean used to calculate this interval?
