Question
Calculate the critical value
(Z alpha/2)
for the following confidence intervals. This information may be
helpful to reference later on the test. Hint: Draw a bell curve.
95% confidence interval
a. invnorm (0.99,0,1) leads to Z alpha ?⁄ =±2.33
b. invnorm (0.975,0,1) leads to Z alpha ?⁄ =±1.96
c. invnorm (0.95,0,1) leads to z alpha ?⁄ =±1.645
d. invnorm(0.995,0,1) leads to z alpha ?⁄ =±2.58
