Confidence Intervals

When we calculate intervals in probability and statistics, it can be simply termed as finding out a confidence interval. The confidence interval is usually calculated from the data set which is observed. The value of the parameter that needs to be calculated is present here only.

Question

Identify the y-score for a95% confidence interval if the sample size is 50.

Definition Definition Number of subjects or observations included in a study. A large sample size typically provides more reliable results and better representation of the population. As sample size and width of confidence interval are inversely related, if the sample size is increased, the width of the confidence interval decreases.

The mean score on the math portion of the ACT for the year 2000 is μ = 20.7. A sample of 20 students in a local school district had a mean of 22.95. Using the sample, a 95% confidence interval estimate for the mean is (20.76, 25.14). State the point estimate for the mean ACT score for students. Based on this sample information , do you believe that the local students have a mean different from the general population? Why? 22.95 is in the center of the interval. The means are definitely not different. 22.95 is just outside the 95% confidence interval. Can't say the means are really different. 22.95 is not equal to 20.7. The means are definitely different. 20.7 is just outside the 95% confidence interval. Can't say the means are really different.
