Question

Refer to the technology output given to the right that results from measured hemoglobin levels (g/dL) in 100 randomly selected adult females. The confidence level of 99% was used.

TInterval

(13.017,13.727)

x=13.372

Sx=1.353

n=100

a. Express the confidence interval in the format that uses the "less than" symbol. Assume that the original listed data use two decimal places, and round the confidence interval limits accordingly.

b. Identify the best point estimate of μ and the margin of error.

c. In constructing the confidence interval estimate of μ, why is it not necessary to confirm that the sample data appear to be from a population with a normal distribution?

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
