The average score for 49 teenage boys playing a certain comp
The average score for 49 teenage boys playing a certain computer game was 80,000 points per player. If the standard deviation of the population is 20,000 points, find the right bound of the 95% confidence interval of the mean score for all teenage boys. For example, if the confidence interval is 100 < < 200, the right bound is 200. Round to the nearest integer
Solution
Note that
Right Bound = X + z(alpha/2) * s / sqrt(n)
where
alpha/2 = (1 - confidence level)/2 = 0.025
X = sample mean = 80000
z(alpha/2) = critical z for the confidence interval = 1.959963985
s = sample standard deviation = 20000
n = sample size = 49
Thus,
Right bound = 85599.8971 [ANSWER]
