Let X N1 4 Find the 75 confidence interval for XSolutionGiv
Let X = N(1, 4). Find the 75% confidence interval for X.
Solution
Given X ~ N(1,4)
Here mean = 1 and variance =4
Thus standard deviation= 2
75% CI for X is given by (X\' - Z ?/ sqrt(n) , X\' + Z ?/ sqrt(n) )
Here n is the sample size which is not mentioned in the question.
the Z value corresponding to 75% confidence interval is 0.32
Thus CI is (1-0.32*2/sqrt(n) , 1+0.32*2/sqrt(n))
= ( 1 - 0.64/sqrt(n) , 1+ 0.64/sqrt(n))
Given a certain value of the sample size n, the CI can be found.
