You are given the sample mean and the population standard deviation. Use this information to construct the 90% and 95% confidence intervals for the population mean. Which interval is wider? If convenient, use technology to construct the confidence intervals.
A random sample of 34 gas grills has a mean price of $648.20
Assume the population standard deviation is $56.70
The 90% confidence interval is
(______,______).
Here we assume that the population standard deviation is $56.70
So we can use Z interval.
Let's use minitab
Step 1) Click on Stat>>>Basic Statistics >>1 sample Z...
Click on summarized data
Sample size = 34
Mean = 648.20
Standard deviation = 56.70
Step 2) then click on Option
Confidence level = 90.0
Alternative "not equal "
then click on OK
again click on OK
So we get the following output:
From the above output the 90% confidence interval for population mean is (632.21, 664.19)
The width of this interval = 664.19 - 632.21 = 31.98
Let's find 95% confidence interval for population mean.
Here we assume that the population standard deviation is $56.70
So we can use Z interval.
Let's use minitab
Step 1) Click on Stat>>>Basic Statistics >>1 sample Z...
Click on summarized data
Sample size = 34
Mean = 648.20
Standard deviation = 56.70
Step 2) then click on Option
Confidence level = 95.0
Alternative "not equal "
then click on OK
again click on OK
So we get the following output:
From the above output the 90% confidence interval for population mean is (629.14, 667.26)
The width of this interval = 667.26 -629.14 = 38.12
95% confidence interval is wider than the 90% confidence interval.
