For 265:_______
For 1082: ______
For 3900: ______
Solution
a)
For n = 1082:
Note that
Lower Bound = X - z(alpha/2) * s / sqrt(n)
Upper Bound = X + z(alpha/2) * s / sqrt(n)
where
alpha/2 = (1 - confidence level)/2 = 0.025
X = sample mean = 265
z(alpha/2) = critical z for the confidence interval = 1.959963985
s = sample standard deviation = 58
n = sample size = 1082
Thus,
Lower bound = 261.5440898
Upper bound = 268.4559102
Thus, the confidence interval is
( 261.5440898 , 268.4559102 ) [ANSWER]

B)
FOR N = 265:
Note that
Lower Bound = X - z(alpha/2) * s / sqrt(n)
Upper Bound = X + z(alpha/2) * s / sqrt(n)
where
alpha/2 = (1 - confidence level)/2 = 0.025
X = sample mean = 265
z(alpha/2) = critical z for the confidence interval = 1.959963985
s = sample standard deviation = 58
n = sample size = 265
Thus,
Lower bound = 258.0168214
Upper bound = 271.9831786
Thus, the confidence interval is
( 258.0168214 , 271.9831786 ) [ANSWER]
*****************
c)
Note that
Lower Bound = X - z(alpha/2) * s / sqrt(n)
Upper Bound = X + z(alpha/2) * s / sqrt(n)
where
alpha/2 = (1 - confidence level)/2 = 0.025
X = sample mean = 265
z(alpha/2) = critical z for the confidence interval = 1.959963985
s = sample standard deviation = 58
n = sample size = 3900
Thus,
Lower bound = 263.1796966
Upper bound = 266.8203034
Thus, the confidence interval is
( 263.1796966 , 266.8203034 ) [ANSWER]
