A study of the ages of motorcyclists killed in crashes involves the random selection of 149 drivers with a mean of 33.24years. Assuming that sigmaσequals=8.2 years, construct and interpret a 90% confidence interval estimate of the mean age of all motorcyclists killed in crashes.
Solution :
Given that,
Z/2 = 1.645
Margin of error = E = Z/2* ( /n)
= 1.645 * (8.2 / 149)
= 1.11
At 90% confidence interval estimate of the population mean is,
- E < < + E
33.24 - 1.11 < < 33.24 + 1.11
32.13 < < 34.35
(32.13 , 34.35)
