Answer #1

Solution :

Given that,

Z/2 = 1.6

SE = 5

= 15

Margin of error (E) = Z/2* SE

= 1.6 * 5

E = 8

A confidence interval estimate of the population mean is,

- E < < + E

15 - 8 < < 15 + 8

7 < < 23

(7, 23)

1.) A back-of-the-envelope calculation for a 95% CI for the population mean mu is [xbar - 2*SE , xbar + 2*SE] where xbar is the sample mean and SE is the standard error of the sample mean.

A confidence interval for a population mean is a region around the sample mean that we are fairly sure or confident in this case, that this interval contains a population mean. This is the confidence level. This level is a percentage of how confident we are that the interval contains the population mean.

Previously, with a recent sample of 18 half carat diamonds, we determined a 99% confidence interval estimate of the mean price of all half carat diamonds to be ($1823.7, $2105.8). a) In 2007 the mean price of a half carat diamonds was $2150. At the 1% significance level, does our recent sample of 18 half carat diamonds with the 99% confidence interval estimate provide evidence that the mean price has changed? Show (1) hypotheses, (5) decision based on C.I., and...

Suppose we want to estimate the 90% confidence interval of difference between mean age of university students in Minnesota and Wisconsin. For this we took a random sample of 10 students from Minnesota and another sample of 15 students are taken from Wisconsin. Suppose we found mean age of Minnesota students 23 years with sample standard deviation 2.3 years. also we found mean age of Wisconsin students 22.5 years with sample standard deviation 1.6 years. What is the critical value...

When constructing an approximate confidence interval for a single mean using a large sample size, we can choose a confidence level that corresponds with the Empirical Rule to determine the critical value, even though our data may not have been sampled from a normal distribution. Explain why we can do this.

a. We are testing H0: μ1 - μ2 = 0. Our 95% confidence interval is (-23.95,-7.41). We should expect the t-statistic to be _____( greater than 2 /between 0 and 2/ between 0 and -2 /less than -2) . We should expect the p-value to be _______ (less than .05/ greater than .05/ equal to .05).
