Question

Costs are rising for all kinds of medical care. The mean monthly rent at assisted living facilities was reported to have increased 17% over the last five years to $3486. Assume this cost estimate is based on a sample of 120 facilities and from past studies, it can be assumed that the sample standard deviation is $650.

Develop a 90% confidence interval estimate of the population mean monthly rent.

Develop a 95% c0nfidence interval estimate of the population mean monthly rent.

Develop a 99% confidence interval estimate of the population mean monthly rent,

What happens to the width of the confidence interval as the confidence level is increased. Does this seem reasonable? Explain.

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 + ...
