A survey was conducted that asked

1016

people how many books they had read in the past year. Results indicated that

x=12.5

books and

s=16.6

books. Construct a

99%

confidence interval for the mean number of books people read. Interpret the interval.

Construct a

99%

confidence interval for the mean number of books people read and interpret the result. Select the correct choice below and fill in the answer boxes to complete your choice.

(Use ascending order. Round to two decimal places as needed.)

If repeated samples are taken,

99%

of them will have a sample mean between nothing
and

nothing.

There is

99%

confidence that the population mean number of books read is between

nothing

and

nothing.

There is a

99%

probability that the true mean number of books read is between

Definition Definition Measure of central tendency that is the average of a given data set. The mean value is evaluated as the quotient of the sum of all observations by the sample size. The mean, in contrast to a median, is affected by extreme values. Very large or very small values can distract the mean from the center of the data. Arithmetic mean: The most common type of mean is the arithmetic mean. It is evaluated using the formula: μ = 1 N ∑ i = 1 N x i Other types of means are the geometric mean, logarithmic mean, and harmonic mean. Geometric mean: The nth root of the product of n observations from a data set is defined as the geometric mean of the set: G = x 1 x 2 ... x n n Logarithmic mean: The difference of the natural logarithms of the two numbers, divided by the difference between the numbers is the logarithmic mean of the two numbers. The logarithmic mean is used particularly in heat transfer and mass transfer. ln x 2 − ln x 1 x 2 − x 1 Harmonic mean: The inverse of the arithmetic mean of the inverses of all the numbers in a data set is the harmonic mean of the data. 1 1 x 1 + 1 x 2 + ...
