Question 1: Suppose we are given a random sample of n=6 observations from a normal distribution. This sample produced a sample mean of 16 and a standard deviation s=3. Find a 95% confidence interval for the population mean. Question 2: Suppose Y is distributed according to t-distribution with 18 degrees of freedom. find the value c such that P(Y < -c or Y > c) = .01 Question 3: The following data represent the age (in weeks) at which 10 randomly selected babies crawled for the first time. 43,44,42,31,38,45,36,39,50,52 Suppose that the data is a random sample from a population with a normal distribution. Construct a 90 confidence interval for the average age at which babies first crawl.

A simple random sample of size n is drawn from a population that is normally distributed. The sample mean, xĢ„, is found to be 108, and the sample standard deviation, s, is found to be 10. a) Construct a 96 % confidence interval for μ if the sample size, n, is 25. b) Construct a 96 % confidence interval for μ if the sample size, n, is 10. How does decreasing the sample size affect the margin of error, E? c) Construct a 90 % confidence interval for μ if the sample size, n, is 25. Compare the results to those obtained in part (a). How does decreasing the level of confidence affect the size of the margin of error, E? d) Could we have computed the confidence intervals in parts (a)–(c) if the population had not been normally distributed? Why?

00:02 Hello students, for question 1, sample size is 6, mean is 16 and standard deviation is 3.
00:11 We need to construct 95 % confidence interval.
00:15 So confidence interval formula is x bar plus or minus critical value multiplied with s by under root of n.
00:26 On substituting the values that is equal to 16 plus or minus 1 .96 multiplied with 3 by under root of 6, where lower bound is 13 .6 and upper bound is 18.
00:39 For question 2, let y tends to c with 18 degrees of freedom.
00:54 Now, probability of y less than minus c or y greater than c is 0 .01, where 2 multiplied with probability of y greater than c is equals to 0 .01...
