Okay, so i see that you need help with this question, and it says you are given a sample mean and population standard deviation.
00:05
Use the information to construct a 90 % and a 95 % confidence interval for the population mean.
00:15
So a 90 % confidence interval is a z score of 1 .645, and a 95 % confidence interval, the z score is 1 .96, okay? so interpret the results and compare the widths from a random sample of 48 business days.
00:33
The mean closing price of a certain stock is 106 .16.
00:40
Assume that the population standard deviation is 9 .94.
00:46
So for 90 % confidence interval, you're going to do 106 .16 plus or minus 1 .645 times your standard deviation of 9 .94 divided by the square root of 48.
01:00
And then, so you're going to take 106 .16 plus or minus 1 .645 times 9 .94 divided by the square root of 48, and that is 1 .43 times 1 .645.
01:24
And so that's 106 .16 plus or minus 2 .36...
