3.) For the data from $n = 10$ samples include the last 2 digits of you GCID as the last data value. You will construct from this a 95% two-sided confidence interval. Assume that the standard deviation is known, $\sigma_x = 28.366$ $x_i = \begin{bmatrix} 47 & 14 & 56 & 21 & 39 & 6 & 64 & 78 & 55 & 67 \end{bmatrix}$ a) Calculate the sample mean and sample standard deviation: $\bar{x} = 39.2$ $s_x = 27.769$ c.) What is your error rate? $\alpha = 0.05$ d.) Give the critical value for your interval (Indicate which type, t vs z. Select only one type. Include the subscript) $z_{\frac{\alpha}{2}} = -1.96$ e.) What is the standard error? $SE = 9.128$ f.) What is the margin of error? $e = 17.211$ g.) Give the confidence interval: "I am 95% confident that $\mu_x \in (15.989, 56.411).$" h.) If instead you did not know $\sigma_x$ what would be your critical value and standard error? $t_{\frac{\alpha}{2}} = 1.75$ $SE = 8.781$

For the data from n=10 samples, include the last 2 digits of your GCID as the last data value. You will construct from this a 95% two-sided confidence interval. Assume that the sample mean is 47 and the sample standard deviation is 12. a. Calculate the sample mean and sample standard deviation: x̄ = 39.2, s = 5. b. What is your error rate? α = 0.05. c. Give the critical value for your interval (indicate which type, t or z): -1.96. d. What is the standard error? SE = 9.128. e. What is the margin of error? e = 17.211. f. Give the confidence interval: 95% confident that the interval is (15.989, 56.411). g. If instead you did not know the sample standard deviation, what would be your critical value and standard error? t = 1.75, SE = 8.781.

A sample of 10 observations taken from a normally distributed population yielded the following data: 46 53 31 48 46 39 47 38 41 57 Note: Use Table V in Appendix C to compute the probabilities. (a) What is the point estimate of μ? (b) Find t for 95% confidence level. (c) Make a 95% confidence interval for μ. (d) What is the margin of error of estimate for μ in part (c)? (b) Find the standard deviation, s for this data. Round the answer to three decimal places. s = 6.678 (c) What is the point estimate of μ? μ = 44.6 (d) Find α for 95% confidence level. α = 2.262 (e) Find α/2 for 95% confidence level. α/2 = (f) Find the degrees of freedom, df for the t distribution. df = (g) Find t for 95% confidence level. t =

A simple random sample of size $n$ is drawn from a population that is normally distributed. The sample mean, $\bar{x},$ is found to be $108,$ and the sample standard deviation, $s,$ is found to be $10 .$ (a) Construct a $96 \%$ confidence interval for $\mu$ if the sample size, $n,$ is 25 (b) Construct a $96 \%$ confidence interval for $\mu$ 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 $\mu$ if the sample size. $n,$ is $25 .$ Compare the results to those obtaincd 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?
