Assume that a sample is used to estimate a population mean u. Find the 80% confidence interval for a sampleof size 541 with a mean of 21.9 and a standard deviation of 10.4. Enter your answer as a tri-linear inequalityaccurate to 3 decimal places.< I

Respuesta :

Given that the sample has the following information;

[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{size(n)}=541 \\ S.d(\sigma)=10.4 \\ \operatorname{mean}(\mu)=21.9 \\ z=\text{ probability of 80\% confidence interval} \end{gathered}[/tex]

We can use the formula below to find the confidence interval;

[tex]\mu\pm z(\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt[]{n}})[/tex]

The 80% confidence interval for a sample is usually given to be 1.28

We can then substitute all the values into the formula above.

[tex]\begin{gathered} 21.9\pm1.28(\frac{10.4}{\sqrt[]{541}}) \\ 21.9\pm0.572 \end{gathered}[/tex]

We would then have the answer finalized as

Answer:

[tex]21.328<\mu<22.472[/tex]
