A 99% confidence interval for the mean population height of male college freshman is calculated from a random sample of 50, and the confidence interval is (64,74) inches. Select all answers that apply. 2 For the instructor, this was question 28. Choose all that apply. Interpretation: 99% of the time the population mean lies between 64 inches to 74 inches Interpretation: 99% of the confidence intervals will contain the population mean. The population mean is random. The confidence interval is random. A 90% confidence interval will be shorter in length. A 90% confidence interval will be longer in length.
A statistics practitioner took a random sample of 57 observations from a population whose standard deviation is 25 and computed the sample mean to be 103. Note: For each confidence interval, enter your answer in the form (LCL, UCL). You must include the parentheses and the comma between the confidence limits. A. Estimate the population mean with 95% confidence. Confidence Interval = B. Estimate the population mean with 95% confidence, changing the population standard deviation to 58; Confidence Interval = C. Estimate the population mean with 95% confidence, changing the population standard deviation to 7; Confidence Interval =
How do I solve this?
A 95% confidence interval for a proportion is (0.62, 0.88). From this we can infer: The population proportion is 0.75 The population proportion is equal to the sample proportion O The population proportion is between 0.62 and 0.88 O The population proportion is likely to be between 0.62 and 0.88
We provide a sample mean, sample size, sample standard deviation, and confidence level. a. use the one-mean t-interval procedure to find a confidence interval for the mean of the population from which the sample was drawn. b. obtain the margin of error by taking half the length of the confidence interval. c. obtain the margin of error by using the formula tα/2•s/n. x = 55, n = 16, s = 5, confidence level = 99%
The graph below shows a 95% confidence interval for a population proportion that has been estimated as 0.5. Move the slider below the graph to change the number of observations in the sample and observe how it affects the equation for the interval and the corresponding interval width. P(1-p) pt Za/2V 0.5 + 1.961 0.5(1-0.5) 1276 95% Cl: 0.5 ± 0.0274 = [0.4726, 0.5274] -0.0274 +0.0274 0.45 0.4726 0.50 0.5274 0.55 n = 1276 1,000 2,000 1. In the equation for a confidence interval, the sample size is located in the denominator underneath the radical sign. What happens to the value of the expression under the radical sign as the sample size increases? a. The value of everything under the radical sign remains the same. b. The value of everything under the radical sign increases. c. The value of everything under the radical sign decreases. -Select- v
