A researcher is interested in learning about average online hours per day for Camosun College students. Data is gathered from 50 students - mean online hours is 7.52 with a standard deviation of 2.85.Calculate the 95% CI (or alpha at 0.05) and interpret your results in a full sentence.Now calculate a 99% CI for the above. How does your answer change? If the researcher sampled a group of 24 students and the new calculated mean and standard deviation are the same as with the larger group of 50, would the 99% CI change from b above? If yes, in what way?

Question

A researcher is interested in learning about average online hours per day for Camosun College students. Data is gathered from 50 students - mean online hours is 7.52 with a standard deviation of 2.85.

Calculate the 95% CI (or alpha at 0.05) and interpret your results in a full sentence.
Now calculate a 99% CI for the above. How does your answer change?
If the researcher sampled a group of 24 students and the new calculated mean and standard deviation are the same as with the larger group of 50, would the 99% CI change from b above? If yes, in what way?

Definition Definition Measure of central tendency that is the average of a given data set. The mean value is evaluated as the quotient of the sum of all observations by the sample size. The mean, in contrast to a median, is affected by extreme values. Very large or very small values can distract the mean from the center of the data. Arithmetic mean: The most common type of mean is the arithmetic mean. It is evaluated using the formula: μ = 1 N ∑ i = 1 N x i Other types of means are the geometric mean, logarithmic mean, and harmonic mean. Geometric mean: The nth root of the product of n observations from a data set is defined as the geometric mean of the set: G = x 1 x 2 ... x n n Logarithmic mean: The difference of the natural logarithms of the two numbers, divided by the difference between the numbers is the logarithmic mean of the two numbers. The logarithmic mean is used particularly in heat transfer and mass transfer. ln x 2 − ln x 1 x 2 − x 1 Harmonic mean: The inverse of the arithmetic mean of the inverses of all the numbers in a data set is the harmonic mean of the data. 1 1 x 1 + 1 x 2 + ...
