Question

The gas mileage for a certain model of car is known to have a standard deviation of 5 mi/gallon. A simple random sample of 49 cars of this model is chosen and found to have a mean gas mileage of 27.5 mi/gallon. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the mean gas mileage for this car model. (17.700, 37.300) ? (26.325, 28.675) (27.300, 27.700) ? (26.100, 28.900) ? (19.275, 35.725) None of the above Question number 3. What will increase the width of a confidence interval?

Step 1

The standard error of the mean is calculated as the standard deviation of the population divided by the square root of the sample size. Standard error = 5 / sqrt(49) = 5 / 7 = 0.7143 Show more…
