Assuming that the population is normally​ distributed, construct a
90%
confidence interval for the population​ mean, based on the following sample size of n=5.
 
​1, 2,​ 3,
4​,
and
23  
 
In the given​ data, replace the value
23
with
5
and recalculate the confidence interval. Using these​ results, describe the effect of an outlier​ (that is, an extreme​ value) on the confidence​ interval, in general.
Find a
90%
confidence interval for the population​ mean, using the formula or technology.
 
?≤μ≤?
​(Round to two decimal places as​ needed.)
 
In the given​ data, replace the value
23
with
5.
Find a
90%
confidence interval for the population​ mean, using the formula or technology.
 
?≤μ≤?
​(Round to two decimal places as​ needed.)
 
Using the results from the previous two​ steps, what is the effect of an outlier​ (that is, an extreme​ value) on the confidence​ interval, in​ general?
 
 
A.
The presence of an outlier in the original data increases the value of the sample mean and greatly inflates the sample standard​ deviation, widening the confidence interval.
 
B.
The presence of an outlier in the original data decreases the value of the sample mean and greatly decreases the sample standard​ deviation, narrowing the confidence interval.
 
C.
The presence of an outlier in the original data decreases the value of the sample mean and greatly inflates the sample standard​ deviation, widening the confidence interval.
 
D.
The presence of an outlier in the original data increases the value of the sample mean and greatly decreases the sample standard​ deviation, narrowing the confidence interval.
