If x 82 13 and n 62 construct a 95 confidence interval est

If x- = 82, =13, and n = 62, construct a 95% confidence interval estimate of the population mean, mu.

Solution

Note that              
Margin of Error E = z(alpha/2) * s / sqrt(n)              
Lower Bound = X - z(alpha/2) * s / sqrt(n)              
Upper Bound = X + z(alpha/2) * s / sqrt(n)              
              
where              
alpha/2 = (1 - confidence level)/2 =    0.025          
X = sample mean =    82          
z(alpha/2) = critical z for the confidence interval =    1.959963985          
s = sample standard deviation =    13          
n = sample size =    62          
              
Thus,              
Margin of Error E =    3.235903774          
Lower bound =    78.76409623          
Upper bound =    85.23590377          
              
Thus, the confidence interval is              
              
(   78.76409623   ,   85.23590377   ) [ANSWER]

 If x- = 82, =13, and n = 62, construct a 95% confidence interval estimate of the population mean, mu. SolutionNote that Margin of Error E = z(alpha/2) * s / sq
