Question
Almost all employees working for financial companies in New York City receive large bonuses at the end of the year. A sample of 63 employees selected from financial companies in New York City showed that they received an average bonus of $63,000 last year with a standard deviation of $24,000. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the average bonus that all employees working for financial companies in New York City received last year.

- An existing inventory for a test measuring self-esteem indicates that the scores have a standard deviation of 8. A psychologist gave the self-esteem test to a random sample of 70 individuals, and their mean score was 69. Construct a 99% confidence interval for the true mean of all test scores. Then complete the table below. Carry your intermediate computations to at least three decimal places. Round your answers to one decimal place. What is the lower limit of the 99% confidence interval? What is the upper limit of the 99% confidence interval?arrow_forwarda survey, 30 people were asked how much they spent on their child's last birthday gift. The results were roughly bell-shaped with a mean of $47 and standard deviation of $6. Construct a confidence interval at a 80% confidence level. Give your answers to one decimal place. Harrow_forwardYou are given the sample mean and the population standard deviation. Use this information to construct the 90% and 95% confidence intervals for the population mean. Interpret the results and compare the widths of the confidence intervals. If convenient, use technology to construct the confidence intervals.

The sample mean was 15.5 minutes and the sample standard deviation was 12.7 minutes. a. Find a 95% confidence interval for the population mean time it takes 12th-grade students to get to school. b. Would a 90% confidence interval based on this sample data be wider or narrower than the 95% confidence interval? Explain. Check your answer by constructing a 90% confidence interval and comparing the width of the interval with the width of the 95% confidence interval you found in part (a). a. The 95% confidence interval is from minutes to minutes. (Round to two decimal places as needed. Use ascending order.) b. Would a 90% confidence interval based on this sample be wider or narrower than the 95% confidence interval? O A. The 90% interval is wider because it has a lower confidence level, and therefore uses a smaller critical value, which creates a wider interval. O B. The 90% interval is wider because it…arrow_forward
