Suppose a 95% confidence level has a value of tα/2 = 2.018. What sample size was used in generating this confidence interval?
A. 41
B. 43
C. 4
D. 5
E. 42
F. None of these
At 42 degrees of freedom:
P(t(42) < 2.018) = 0.025
Hence,
Sample size required = df + 1 = 42 + 1 = 43
Option B is correct.

Question of 41 1.0 Points A 95% confidence interval for the true mean cholesterol level of adult males based on 25 randomly selected subjects extends from 175 mg 1 to 250 mg L. What is a proper interpretation of the confidence interval? A Ninety-five percent of the population has a cholesterol level between 175 and 250 m l B. We are 95% confident that the true mean cholesterol level of the population falls between 175 and 250 mgt C. More...
What is the t-value for a 90% confidence interval for the mean if the sample size is 24? a. 1.984 b. 1.714 c. 2.069 d. 1.96 e. 2.306 In general, when choosing the sample size for estimating a mean, which of the following will result in a smaller margin of error (E)? a. a larger confidence level b. a smaller sample size c. a dozen glazed donuts d. a larger sample size e. a more expensive calculator
Explain what "95% confidence" means in a 95% confidence interval. What does "95% confidence" mean in a 95% confidence interval? A. If 100 different confidence intervals are constructed, each based on a different sample of size n from the same population, then we expect 95 of the intervals to include the parameter and 5 to not include the parameter. B. The probability that the value of the parameter lies between the lower and upper bounds of the interval is 95%....
ind tα,df from the following information. [You may find it useful to reference the t table.] tα,df a. α = 0.005 and df = 18 b. α = 0.20 and df = 18 c. α = 0.005 and df = 22 d. α = 0.20 and df = 22 We use the t distribution to construct a confidence interval for the population mean when the underlying population standard deviation is not known. Under the assumption that the population is normally...
suppose that from a sample size of 16, a 95% confidence interval of (12,18) for the mean has been obtained determine x and s respectivly
Confidence Level Question 1 One hundred random samples, each of size 25, are obtained from the Normal distribution with mean 0 and standard deviation 1 using Minitab. Subsequently, the 1-Sample Z procedure in Minitab is used (with the same confidence level) to obtain a confidence interval from each sample. Out of the 100 intervals thus obtained, 89 include the number 0. Estimate the confidence level (in percentage terms) used to generate the 100 intervals using a 95% confidence interval. a....

The sample has a mean weight of 26.7 pounds and a standard deviation of 2.9 pounds. What is the 95 percent confidence interval for the true mean weight, μ, of all packages received by the parcel service? 25.8 < μ < 27.6 b, 26.0< μ< 27.4 c. 25.7< μ< 27.7...
17. If the confidence level for a confidence interval is 98%. then the error rate α is ______. a. 98% b. 2% c. 95% d. 5% 18. Suppose the sample mean is μ and the confidence interval for population mean is (μ-E, μ+E). E will be getting smaller if: (18.a) the sample size is getting ___________; a. smaller b. larger (18.b) the standard deviation of the data in the sample is __________; a. smaller b. larger (18.c) the allowed error...
