Each student in a sample of 10 was asked for the distance and the time required to commute to college yesterday. The data collected are shown in the table.
(a) Give a point estimate for the mean time required to commute 4 miles. (Give your answer correct to two decimal places.)
(b) Give a 90% confidence interval for the mean travel time required to commute 4 miles. (Give your answers correct to two decimal places.)
(c) Give a 90% prediction interval for the travel time required for one person to commute the 4 miles. (Give your answers correct to two decimal places.)
| Distance | 1 | 2 | 4 | 5 | 5 | 6 | 6 | 8 | 8 | 9 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Time | 5 | 10 | 5 | 10 | 15 | 15 | 20 | 15 | 25 | 20 |
Solution
x= 54
y = 2.91+2.05(54) = 113.61
b) confidence interval 90%
z value = 1.64
std error = 60.4/rt 10 = 19.10
Margin of error = 1.64(19.1) =31.32
Con interval = (82.29,144.93)
