Question

Use the sample information = 2.4, σ = 0.15, n = 9 to calculate the following confidence intervals for μ assuming the sample is from a normal population: a. 90 percent confidence; b. 95 percent confidence; c. 99 percent confidence. d. Describe how the intervals change as you increase the confidence level.

Step 1

The standard error is calculated as: SE = σ / √n where σ is the population standard deviation and n is the sample size. In this case, σ = 0.15 and n = 9. So, the standard error is: SE = 0.15 / √9 = 0.15 / 3 = 0.05 Now, we can calculate the confidence Show more…
