Answer to Problem T8.3SPT
In case of box plot situation.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Sample size ( n ) = 14
Confidence interval using t-distribution is to be constructed.
The confidence interval using t distribution is computed when the sample size is less than 30 and the sample standard deviation is known. And, it is used when the data is
Thus, it could be said that would not be safe to construct the construct the confidence interval on the sample size of 14 under the circumstance of box plot.
Hence, the correct option is (c).
