Question
1. A sample of size n = 121 produced the sample mean of =
30. Assuming the population standard deviation o = 4,
compute a 95% confidence interval for the population mean
u.
2.
Given
the
following
data:
6.
-3
3
5
3
4
Construct a 90 % confidence interval estimate for the
population mean.
3. A random sample of 750 people shows that 150 are
left-handed. Construct a 99% confidence interval for
the true proportion of left-handers.
4. How large a sample would be necessary to estimate
the true proportion defective in a large population
within 5%, with 95% confidence? (Assume a pilot
sample yieldsp = 0.5)
5. Write a short note on point estimate and confidence interval
estimate.
