Suppose that X is normally distributed with known variance 95 and unknown mean. Five independent draws give X values of 46, 112, 85, 83 and 64. Find a 95% confidence interval for the mean.
We have for given data,
Sample mean =78
Population standard deviation=9.75
Sample size=5
Level of significance =1-0.95=0.05
Z critical value (by using Z table)=1.96
Confidence interval formula is
=(69.45,86.55)
Lower confidence limit =69.45
Upper confidence limit =86.55
