Question
ou are given the sample mean and the population standard deviation. Use this information to construct the​ 90% and​ 95% confidence intervals for the population mean. Interpret the results and compare the widths of the confidence intervals.
 
From a random sample of 74 ​dates, the mean record high daily temperature in a certain city has a mean of 85.83°F. Assume the population standard deviation is 13.64°F.
 
 
 
The​ 90% confidence interval is

​(Round to two decimal places as​ needed.)
Expert Solution
Step 1

Given that

Sample size n = 74

Sample mean = 85.83

Population SD = 13.64

The critical value of Z at 90% and 95% confidence levels are 1.645 and 1.96 respectively.
