Concept explainers

Estimation
A new framework of data analysis where the new statistical methods are used for interpreting the results and analyzing the data is known as estimation in statistics.
Question
A ecologist wishes to estimate the mean lifespan for a specific species of bird. Assume that bird lifespan is normally distributed and that each bird's lifespan is independent of all others. The researcher analyzes a random sample of n=7 deceased birds to find out how long they lived for. It is found that the mean lifespan in the sample is y= 5 4 years with standard deviation s=13 years. Choose the correct formula for a 95% confidence interval for the true mean lifespan. X± to.975,n O xt to.975,n-1 n-1 O none of these X+ Z0.975 O x+ to.975,n-1' O xt to.975,n-15
