Question
need help with question c
The accompanying data represent the total travel tax (in dollars) for a 3-day business trip in 8 randomly selected cities. A normal probability plot suggests the data could come from a population that is normally distributed. A boxplot indicates there
are no outliers. Complete parts (a) through (c) below.
68.22
79.09
69.71
84.91
80.91
85.76
100.24 97.41 O
A Click the icon to view the table of critical t-values.
(a) Determine a point estimate for the population mean travel tax.
A point estimate for the population mean travel tax is $ 83.28
(Round to two decimal places as needed.)
(b) Construct and interpret a 95% confidence interval for the mean tax paid for a three-day business trip.
Select the correct choice below and fill in the answer boxes to complete your choice.
(Round to two decimal places as needed.)
O A. One can be
% confident that the all cities have a travel tax between $ and $.
O B. There is a
% probability that the mean travel tax for all cities
between $ and $.
C.
One can be 95 % confident that the mean travel tax for all cities is between $ 73.64 and $ 92.92
D. The travel tax is between $ and $
for
% of all cities.
(c) What would you recommend to a researcher who wants to increase the precision of the interval, but does not have access to additional data?
O A. The researcher could decrease the level of confidence.
O B. The researcher could decrease the sample standard deviation.
Oc.
The researcher could increase the level of confidence.
O D
The researcher could increase the sample mean.
