Find a 95 confidence interval for the true mean using these
Find a 95% confidence interval for the true mean, using these sample data values
625, 665, 535, 406, 512, 681, 483, 522, 619
Solution
USING T DISTRIBUTION
Note that
Lower Bound = X - t(alpha/2) * s / sqrt(n)
Upper Bound = X + t(alpha/2) * s / sqrt(n)
where
X = sample mean = 560.8888889
t(alpha/2) = critical z for the confidence interval = 2.306004135
s = sample standard deviation = 91.77614674
n = sample size = 9
Thus,
Lower bound = 490.3434976
Upper bound = 631.4342802
Thus, the confidence interval is
( 490.3434976 , 631.4342802 )
