(c) Construct a 95% confidence interval about u if the sample size, n, is 18. (d) Could we have computed the confidence intervals in parts (a)-(c) if the population had not been normally distributed? (a) Construct a 96% confidence interval about μ if the sample size, n, is 18. Lower bound:: Upper bound: [ (Use ascending order. Round to one decimal place as needed.)

The law of large numbers states that as the number of observations drawn at random from a population with finite mean  increases, the mean  of the observed values:   a. tends to get closer and closer to the population mean .   b. gets smaller and smaller.   c. gets larger and larger.   d. fluctuates steadily between 1 standard deviation above and 1 standard deviation below the mean.   I collect a random sample of size n from a population and compute a 95% confidence interval for the proportion I observe from the population. What could I do to produce a new confidence interval with a larger width (larger margin of error) based on these same data?   a. I could use the same confidence level but compute the interval n times; approximately 5% of these intervals will be larger.   b. Nothing can guarantee absolutely that I will get a larger interval; I can only say the chance of obtaining a larger interval is 0.05.   c. I could use a smaller confidence…

(a) Construct a 98% confidence interval about u if the sample size, n, is 32. (b) Construct a 98% confidence interval about µ if the sample size, n, is 58. How does increasing the sample size affect the margin of error, E? (c) Construct a 99% confidence interval about u if the sample size, n, is 32. How does increasing the level of confidence affect the size of the margin of error, E? (d) If the sample size is 21, what conditions must be satisfied to compute the confidence interval?

A simple random sample with n = 52 provided a sample mean of 24.0 and a sample standard deviation of 4.6. a. Develop a 90% confidence interval for the population mean (to 1 decimal). b. Develop a 95% confidence interval for the population mean (to 1 decimal). c. Develop a 99% confidence interval for the population mean (to 1 decimal). d. What happens to the margin of error and the confidence interval as the confidence level is increased? V - Select your answer - They increase They decrease They stay the same It cannot be determined from the given data The margin of error increases and the confidence interval becomes narrower The margin of error decreases and the confidence interval becomes wider

Use the bootstrap distributions in Figure 1 to estimate the value of the sample statistic and standard error, and then use this information to give a 95 % confidence interval. In addition, give notation for the parameter being estimated. The bootstrap distribution in Figure 1, generated for a sample correlation to 0.25 0.30 0.35 0.40 0.45 0.50 0.55 Figure 1 Bootstrap distribution (a) Give the sample statistic for the parameter being estimated. Round your answer to one decimal place. Sample statistic = eTextbook and Media (b) Estimate the standard error. Round your answer to two decimal places. standard error = i eTextbook and Media (c) Give the 95 % confidence interval. Round your answers to two decimal places, if necessary. The 95 % confidence interval is i to i e Textbook and Media
