What is the appropriate z-value to use when constructing a confidence interval at the 95% and 99% confidence levels?
|
Confidence Level |
z-value (Table) |
z-Value (Excel) |
Excel Formula |
|
95% (0.95) |
|
|
=ABS(NORM.S.INV(0.025)) |
|
99% (0.99) |
|
|
=ABS(NORM.S.INV(0.005)) |
Calculate the three confidence intervals using a 95% confidence level. You may do this by hand or with Excel. You must show your work. Your answer must include the Point Estimate, Margin of Error (MoE), Lower Confidence Limit (LCL), and the Upper Confidence Limit (UCL). Excel does not have a Confidence Interval
What do the confidence intervals you constructed tell you?
What would happen to the confidence intervals if you changed the level of confidence? What would happen to the confidence interval if you increase the sample size?
