Question

A random sample of size 121 is taken from a population, the sample standard deviation is 22.mthe upper bound of 95% confidence interval is 50, what is the value of sample mean?

Expert Solution
Step 1

From The available information,

Sample size, n=121

Sample standard deviation is, s=22

The confidence level is,

C=95%=95/100=0.95

The level of significance is,

Probability homework question answer, step 1, image 1

since the population standard deviation is unknown.use t test for  computing the sample mean.

The degrees of freedom is,

df =n-1=121-1=120

Critical value:

Using excel function at 120 degrees of freedom with 0.05 level of significance , the two- tailed critical value is,
