Solution
Question A:
- To compute the confidence interval, use a T-distribution.
Question B:
- The 90% confidence interval is:
[tex]\begin{gathered} CI=\bar{x}\pm Z^*\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} \\ \\ Z^*=1.645 \\ \bar{x}=2.3 \\ s=2.8 \\ n=223 \\ \\ CI=2.3\pm1.645\times\frac{2.8}{\sqrt{223}} \\ \\ CI=2.3\pm0.3084406 \\ \\ CI=[1.992,2.608]\text{ \lparen To 3 decimal places\rparen} \end{gathered}[/tex]
Question C:
About 90% of these confidence intervals will contain the true population mean number of visits per week and about 10% will not contain the true population mean number of visits per week
