2) In constructing a confidence interval for σ or σ², a table is used to find the critical values χ²ₑ and χ²ₛ for values of n ≤ 101. For larger values of n, χ²ₑ and χ²ₛ can be approximated by using the following formula: χ² = 1/2 [± zᵅ/₂ + √(2k - 1)]² where k is the number of degrees of freedom and zᵅ/₂ is the critical z score. Estimate the critical values χ²ₑ and χ²ₛ for a situation in which you wish to construct a 95% confidence interval for σ and in which the sample size is n = 232. A) χ²ₑ ≈ 197.457, χ²ₛ ≈ 268.249 B) χ²ₑ ≈ 191.247, χ²ₛ ≈ 275.595 C) χ²ₑ ≈ 190.338, χ²ₛ ≈ 274.504 D) χ²ₑ ≈ 196.533, χ²ₛ ≈ 267.173 Use the confidence level and sample data to find a confidence interval for estimating the population μ. Round your answer to the same number of decimal places as the sample mean. 3) Test scores: n = 104, x̄ = 95.3, σ = 6.5; 99% confidence A) 93.8 < μ < 96.8 B) 93.7 < μ < 96.9 C) 94.2 < μ < 96.4 D) 94.1 < μ < 96.5

Confidence Interval on the Mean of a Normal Distribution, Variance Kr 8-1. For a normal population with known variance Α², answer the following questions: (a) What is the confidence level for the interval x - 2.5σ/∑n ≤ μ ≤ x + 2.5σ/∑n? (b) What is the confidence level for the interval x - 2.49σ/∑n ≤ μ ≤ x + 2.49σ/∑n? (c) What is the confidence level for the interval x - 1.85σ/∑n ≤ μ ≤ x + 1.85σ/∑n? (b) Find a 95% CI for μ when n = 10 (c) Find a 99% CI for μ when n = 10 (d) Find a 99% CI for μ when n = 30 (e) How does the length of the confidence interval change with the changes in sample size? 8-5. A random sample has been taken from a normal population and the following confidence intervals constructed using the same data: (35.02, 64.98) and (25.00, 75.00). (a) What is the value of the sample mean? (b) One of these intervals is a 95% CI and the other is a 99% CI. Which one is the 95% CI? 8-6. A random sample has been taken from a normal population and the following confidence intervals constructed using the same data: (20.05, 25.95) and (19.68, 26.32). (a) What is the value of the sample mean? (b) One of these intervals is a 95% CI and the other is a 99% CI. Which one is the 95% CI? 8-7. Consider the gain estimation in Exercise 8-4. (a) How large must n be if the length of the 95% CI is to be 30? (b) How large must n be if the length of the 99% CI is to be 30?

(a) A 95% confidence interval for the mean μ of a population is computed from a random sample and found to be 10 ± 4. We may conclude: A. that there is a 95% probability that μ is between 6 and 14. B. 95% of the population is between 6 and 14. C. that there is a 95% probability that the true mean is 10 and a 95% chance the true margin of error is 4. D. that if we took many, many additional samples and from each computed a 95% confidence interval for μ, approximately 95% of these intervals would contain μ. E. All of the above. (b) Suppose you collect a SRS of size n from a population and from the data collected you computed a 95% confidence interval for the mean of the population. Which of the following would produce a new confidence interval with larger width (larger margin of error) based on these same data? A. Use a smaller confidence level. B. Use a larger confidence level. C. Nothing can guarantee absolutely that you will get a larger interval. One can only say the chance of obtaining a larger interval is 0.05. D. Use the same confidence level, but compute the interval n times. Approximately 5% of these intervals will be larger. E. None of the above.

00:01 In this problem we have given, in constructing a confidence interval, say, c -i for sigma or sigma square, a table is used to find the critical values, say, which is xl square and xr square.
00:18 For the values which is n less than or equals to 101, for larger values of n, we can experiment or we can say expect the values of xl and xr...
