Question

Assume that a sample is used to estimate a population mean μμ. Find the 99.5% confidence interval for a sample of size 1013 with a mean of 60.2 and a standard deviation of 12.9. Enter your answer as a tri-linear inequality accurate to 3 decimal places.
___< μμ <____

 

Expert Solution
Step 1

Ans#- Given the sample size n = 1013, sample mean x = 60.2,  sample standard deviation s = 12.9

           99.5% confidence interval    α = 1 - 0.995 = 0.005

          Then  Zα2   = 2.807   (using Z score table)
