Suppose we do not know the population standard deviation. What is the margin of error when the standard error is 4, and the confidence coefficient is .98 and we are working with a sample of 35 observations?
Homework Answers
here for (0.98 confidence interval and (n-1=34 )degree of freedom; critial t =2.441
therefore margin of error =t*Std error =4*2.441=9.764

Use the given margin of error, confidence level, and population standard deviation, sigmaσ, to find the minimum sample size required to estimate an unknown population mean, muμ. Margin of error: 1.91.9 inches, confidence level: 9595%, sigmaσequals=2.62.6 inches A confidence level of 9595% requires a mimimum sample size of nothing. (Round up to the nearest integer.)
