c095 x149 s30 n7SolutionA Note that Lower Bound X talpha2
c=0.95, x=14.9. s=3.0, n=7
Solution
A)
Note that
Lower Bound = X - t(alpha/2) * s / sqrt(n)
Upper Bound = X + t(alpha/2) * s / sqrt(n)
where
alpha/2 = (1 - confidence level)/2 = 0.025
X = sample mean = 14.9
t(alpha/2) = critical t for the confidence interval = 2.446911851
s = sample standard deviation = 3
n = sample size = 7
df = n - 1 = 6
Thus,
Lower bound = 12.12546276
Upper bound = 17.67453724
Thus, the confidence interval is
( 12.12546276 , 17.67453724 ) [ANSWER]
