A Gallup poll asked 1031 Americans How much TV do you watch
A Gallup poll asked 1031 Americans How much TV do you watch each week? The results showed a mean of 3.4 hours with a standard deviation of 1.8 hours. Determine a 95% confidence interval for the number of hours that TV is watched.
Solution
Confidence Interval = Mean - (Critical Value of T * StandardError of Mean) to Mean + (Critical Value of T * Standard Error ofMean)
 Mean = 3.4
 Degree of Freedom = 1031 - 1 = 1030
 Critical Value of T at 95% (Two-Tailed Test) (Use Table inStat Book) = 1.96
 Standard Error of Mean = (Standard Deviation) / (SampleSize)^(1/2) = 1.8 / (1031)^(1/2)
 +-0.10987509
