A random sample of 25 items is drawn from a population whose standard deviation is unknown. The sample mean is
x = 830 and the sample standard deviation is s= 5. Use Appendix D to find the values of Student's t.
(a) Construct an interval estimate of u with 95% confidence. (Round your answers to 3 decimal places.)
The 95% confidence interval is from 827.936 to 832.064
(b) Construct an interval estimate of u with 95% confidence, assuming that s= 10. (Round your answers to 3 decimal places.)
The 95% confidence interval is from
to
(c) Construct an interval estimate of u with 95% confidence, assuming that s= 20. (Round your answers to 3 decimal places.)
The 95% confidence interval is from
to
(d) Describe how the confidence interval changes as s increases.
The interval stays the same as s increases.
O The interval gets wider as s increases.
The interval gets narrower as s increases.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Students t-distribution is symmetric distribution about zero. This distribution is leptokurtic in nature.

Confidence Interval for the population mean when σ is unknown is (X¯-tn-1,α/2×Sn , X¯+tn-1,α/2×Sn)
