Question
1. A sample of size n = 121 produced the sample mean of = 30. Assuming the population
standard deviation o = 4, compute a 95% confidence interval for the population mean µ.
%3D
2. Given the following data:
6
-3
3
5 3
4
Construct a 90 % confidence interval estimate for the population mean.
3. A random sample of 750 people shows that 150 are left-handed. Construct a 99%
confidence interval for the true proportion of left-handers.
4. How large a sample would be necessary to estimate the true proportion defective
in a large population within 5%, with 95% confidence? (Assume a pilot sample
yields p = 0.5)
5. Write a short note on point estimate and confidence interval estimate.
