If n=12, ¯xx¯ (x-bar)=31, and s=8, find the margin of error at a 99% confidence level (use at least three decimal places)
Given that,
= 31
s =8
n = 12
Degrees of freedom = df = n - 1 =12 - 1 = 11
At 99% confidence level the t is ,
= 1 - 99% = 1 - 0.99 = 0.01
/ 2 = 0.01 / 2 = 0.005
t /2,df= t0.005,11= 3.106 ( using student t table)
Margin of error = E = t/2,df * (s /n)
= 3.106* (8 / 12) = 7.173
