The formula used to compute a confidence interval for the me
The formula used to compute a confidence interval for the mean of a normal population when n is small is the following.
What is the appropriate t critical value for each of the following confidence levels and sample sizes? (Round the answers to two decimal places.)
(a) 98% confidence, n = 17
(b) 90% confidence, n = 12
(c) 98% confidence, n = 24
(d) 90% confidence, n = 24
(e) 80% confidence, n = 13
(f) 95% confidence, n = 10
Solution
a)
Critical Value
The Value of |t ?| with n-1 = 16 d.f is 2.24
b)
Critical Value
The Value of |t ?| with n-1 = 11 d.f is 1.36
c)
Critical Value
The Value of |t ?| with n-1 = 23 d.f is 2.18
d)
Critical Value
The Value of |t ?| with n-1 = 23 d.f is 2.5
e)
Critical Value
The Value of |t ?| with n-1 = 12 d.f is 0.87
f)
Critical Value
The Value of |t ?| with n-1 = 9 d.f is 1.83
