Question

From the estimation of the population mean of the Year of Education with a 99% confidence interval, what is the lower limit? (Round off to two decimal places if necessary).

**Table 1. Data from Random Sampling**

The table below presents data collected from a random sample. The columns represent different categories, and the rows provide specific data points for each individual in the sample.

### Types of Punishment

1. **Probation/Community Service**
2. **Jail Incarceration**
3. **Prison Incarceration**

### Marital Status

1. **Married**
2. **Single**
3. **Other**

This chart is a classification system for types of punishment and marital status, using numerical identifiers for each category. It is organized into two sections: "Type of Punishment" and "Marital Status," each listing options with corresponding numbers for easy reference in data analysis or educational purposes.

Expert Solution
Step 1

The 99% confidence interval for the the population mean years of education, will signify that, with 99% confidence the population mean years of education lies within that interval. If a, b denotes the 99% confidence interval, then a will be the lower limit and b will be the upper limit.

Since, population standard deviation is unknown, the sampling distribution can be assumed to follow student-t distribution and further t-confidence interval formula will be appropriate in this case.
