Question

A random sample of 15 subjects was asked to perform a given task. The time and seconds it took each of them to complete the test as recorded below. 
39,37,35,40,39,27,29,50,33,38,39,36,49, 25,46

If we assume the completion times are normally distributed, find a 99% confidence interval for the true mean completion time for this desk. Give the lower limit and upper limit of the 99% confidence interval.

 

Expert Solution
Step 1

The question is about confidence interval

Given :

Randomly selected no. of subjects ( n ) = 15

Confidence level = 0.99

Data :  39,37,35,40,39,27,29,50,33,38,39,36,49, 25,46

 

To find :

99 % CI for the true mean completion time for this desk
