Question
Assume that in the survey of the previous problem during one month the sample
weight (kg) and sample variance were calculated as
Y
y = 61.60,
= 436.11
with a sample size of n = 64.
a) What are the point estimates for the population's expected value μ and its
variance o²? What is the point estimate of the standard deviation σ of the
population? What is the standard error of estimate for the population mean?
b) In addition, use this data to calculate the 95% t-confidence interval for the
expected value of the weight using the equation (5.17). (The quantiles of t-
distribution are conveniently obtained using R by qt function. For example
t17(0.01) = qt (0.99, 17) = qt (0.01, 17, lower.tail = FALSE) = 2.567)
