The following are the daily number of steps taken by a certain individual for 20 days:
2100, 1950, 2043, 2210, 2018, 1984, 1992, 2218, 2152, 2106, 2072, 2096, 2244, 1962, 1938, 1898, 2103, 2206, 2007, 1956
Assuming that the daily number of steps is normally distributed, construct a...
a) 95 percent two-sided confidence interval for the mean number of steps
b) 99 percent two-sided confidenec interval for the mean number of steps
mean= 2062.75, s=104.34, and n=20
Solution
std error = s/rt 20 = 2.312
Mean = 2062.75
. Hence a) (2058.22, 2067.28)
| 95% | 99% | |
| z | 1.96 | 2.58 |
| std error | 2.312 | 2.312 |
| Margin of error | 4.53152 | 5.96496 |
| Mean | 2062.75 | 2062.75 |
| Conf int lower bound | 2058.21848 | 2056.78504 |
| conf int upper bound | 2067.28152 | 2068.71496 |
