(a) Based on Sample 1, graph the 80% and 95% confidence intervals for the population mean. Use 1.282 for the critical value for the 80% confidence
interval, and use 1.960 for the critical value for the 95% confidence interval. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.)
• Enter the lower and upper limits on the graphs to show each confidence interval. Write your answers with one decimal place.
• For the points (and ◆), enter the population mean, μ = 90.

(c) Notice that for =90% of the samples, the 95% confidence interval contains the population mean. Choose the
20
correct statement.
When constructing 95% confidence intervals for 20 samples of the same size from the population, exactly 95% of
the samples will contain the population mean.
When constructing 95% confidence intervals for 20 samples of the same size from the population, at most 95% of
the samples will contain the population mean.
When constructing 95% confidence intervals for 20 samples of the same size from the population, it is possible that
more or fewer than 95% of the samples will contain the population mean.
(d) Choose ALL that are true.
If there were a Sample 21 of size n=24 taken from the same population as Sample 14, then the 95% confidence
interval for Sample 21 would be narrower than the 95% confidence interval for Sample 14.
The 80% confidence interval for Sample 14 is narrower than the 95% confidence interval for Sample 14. This is
coincidence; when constructing a confidence interval for a sample, there is no relationship between the level of
confidence and the width of the interval.
From the 95% confidence interval for Sample 14, we cannot say that there is a 95% probability that the
population mean is between 88.6 and 93.2.
The 80% confidence interval for Sample 14 does not indicate that 80% of the Sample 14 data values are between
89.4 and 92.4.
None of the choices above are true.
