Assume the population mean is to be estimated from the sample described. Use the sample results to approximate the margin of error and 95% coincidence interval N=36,x= 59.9seconds ,s=4.3 seconds I know the margin of error is 1.4 seconds. But how do I find the 95% coincidence interval?

Respuesta :

At 95% confidence interval, we evaluate the critival value which is evaluated to be

[tex]1.96[/tex]

The margin of error is expressed as

[tex]\text{Margin of error = Z}\times\frac{s}{\sqrt[]{N}}[/tex]

thus, we have

[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Margin of error = 1.96}\times\frac{4.3}{\sqrt[]{36}} \\ =\frac{1.96\times4.3}{6} \\ =1.4 \end{gathered}[/tex]

The confidence interval is expressed as

[tex]CI\text{ = }\bar{x}\pm margin\text{ of error}[/tex]

thus, we have

[tex]\begin{gathered} CI\text{ = 59.9}\pm1.4 \\ \end{gathered}[/tex]

Hence, the confidence interval is between 58.5 and 61.3.
