a)
95% confidence interval is
- t * S / sqrt(n) < < + t * S / sqrt(n)
90 - 1.984 * 10 / sqrt(100) < < 90 + 1.984 * 10 / sqrt(100)
88.016 < < 91.984
95% CI is ( 88.016 , 91.984)
b)
Sample size = ( Z * / E)2
= ( 1.96 * 10 / 2)2
= 96.04
Sample size = 97 (Rounded up to nearest integer)

A random sample of 107 lightning flashes in a certain region resulted in a sample average radar echo duration of 0.77 sec and a sample standard deviation of 0.50 sec. Calculate a 99% (two-sided) confidence interval for the true average echo duration u. (Round your answers to two decimal places.) sec Interpret the resulting interval. We are 99% confident that the true population mean lies above this interval. We are 99% confident that this interval contains the true population mean....

Question 9 (1 point) For a random sample of 18 recent business school graduates beginning their first job, the mean starting salary was found to be $43,500, and the sample standard deviation was $5,500. Assuming the population is normally distributed, find the margin of error of a 95% confidence interval for the population mean.
We considered the differences between the reading and writing scores of a random sample of 200 students who took the High School and Beyond Survey in Exercise 5.21. The mean and standard deviation of the differences are x̄read-write = -0.545 and 8.887 points respectively. (a) Calculate a 95% confidence interval for the average difference between the reading and writing scores of all students. lower bound: points (please round to two decimal places) upper bound: points (please round to two decimal...
