Examples:
Suppose that mu , the mean height of adult males, is unknown. A random sample of 36 men yields ar{x} =68.70^('').
a) Give a point estimate for the population mean.
b) Suppose that somehow the population variance is known to be 6.25 . Use the above sample data to give a 95% margin of error and confidence interval for the unknown population mean.
Suppose that the sample size is changed to 64 . What are the margin of error and interval?
For n=36, change the confidence level to 90%.
Suppose that we want a 95% confidence interval, and we insist on an estimation error of at most (1)/(2^('')). What is the minimum sample size that will ensure this?
