Question

A researcher collected sample data for

middle-aged women. The sample had a mean serum cholesterol level (measured in milligrams per one hundred milliliters) of

190.4

, with a standard deviation of

6.6

. Assuming that serum cholesterol levels for middle-aged women are normally distributed, find a

95%

confidence interval for the mean serum cholesterol level of all women in this age group. Give the lower limit and upper limit of the

95%

confidence interval.

Carry your intermediate computations to at least three decimal places. Round your answers to one decimal place. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.)

Lower limit:
Upper limit:

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
