Question

A random sample of 11 items is drawn from a population whose standard deviation is unknown. The sample mean is x⎯⎯x¯ = 810 and the sample standard deviation is s = 20. Use Appendix D to find the values of Student’s t.
 
(a) Construct an interval estimate of μ with 98% confidence. (Round your answers to 3 decimal places.)
  
The 98% confidence interval is from ______ to ________ 
 
(b) Construct an interval estimate of μ with 98% confidence, assuming that s = 40. (Round your answers to 3 decimal places.)
  
The 98% confidence interval is from _______ to ________ 
 
(c) Construct an interval estimate of μ with 98% confidence, assuming that s = 80. (Round your answers to 3 decimal places.)
  
The 98% confidence interval is from ______ to ________ 
 
(d) Describe how the confidence interval changes as s increases.
  

  • The interval stays the same as s increases.
  • The interval gets wider as s increases.
  • The interval gets narrower as s increases.

A common rule of thumb is to usez when n 30, but that is not conservative. 8
