Average

In mathematics, everyone must have heard the term average in one place or other. Almost all types of calculation require taking out an average. In everyday life, the term is used for denoting a certain amount that can be said to be a typical quantity for multiple people or objects. In other words, if a group of people possesses a certain object, then the average gives us an idea regarding the quantity of the object possessed by each person. However, this is solely based on mathematical calculation. It is important to note that most people will not strictly have the average value in a group.

Question

GIVEN:

Sample Standard Deviation = 12.02 kg

Sample size = 16

Sample Mean=51.31 kg

Confidence Level = 90%

Question:

Construct a 90% confidence level interval estimate of the mean weight.

Definition Definition Method in statistics by which an observation’s uncertainty can be quantified. The main use of interval estimating is for describing a range that is made by transforming a point estimate by determining the range of values, or interval within which the population parameter is likely to fall. This range helps in measuring its precision.
