If X=95, S equals 6, and n equals 16, and assuming that the population is normally distributed, construct a 95 % confidence interval estimate of the population mean.
Given,
Sample mean ,
Sample standard deviation,
Sample size,
Confidence interval,
We want to generate a 95% confidence interval estimate for an unknown population mean.
Since n = 15(<30), we will use t- distribution to compute the 95% confidence interval of population mean.
The critical value for α=0.05 and df = n−1 =14 is tc=2.145
The corresponding confidence interval is computed as shown below:
