Construct the confidence interval for the population mean μ.
c=0.90, x=16.1, σ=8.0, and n=85
A 90% confidence interval for μ is ( , ).
(Round to one decimal place as needed.)
Solution :
Given that,
Sample size = n = 85
Z/2 = 1.645
Margin of error = E = Z/2* ( /n)
= 1.645 * (8.0 / 85)
= 1.4
At 90% confidence interval estimate of the population mean is,
- E < < + E
16.1 - 1.4 < < 16.1 + 1.4
14.7 < < 17.5
A 90% confidence interval for μ is (14.7 , 17.5)
