Question
Please answer parts B, C and D.

Transcribed Image Text:A simple random sample of size n is drawn from a population that is normally distributed. The sample mean, x, is found to be 110, and the sample standard deviation,
s, is found to be 10.
(a) Construct an 80% confidence interval about u if the sample size, n, is 15.
(b) Construct an 80% confidence interval about u if the sample size, n, is 28.
(c) Construct a 90% confidence interval about u if the sample size, n, is 15.
(d) Could we have computed the confidence intervals in parts (a)-(c) if the population had not been normally distributed?

(a) Construct an 80% confidence interval about u if the sample size, n, is 15.
Lower bound: 106.5 ; Upper bound: 113.5
(Use ascending order. Round to one decimal place as needed.)
(b) Construct an 80% confidence interval about u if the sample size, n, is 28.
Lower bound:
; Upper bound:
(Use ascending order. Round to one decimal place as needed.)
