Question
Here are summary statistics for randomly selected weights of newborn​ girls:
n=176​,
x=26.1
​hg,
s=7.5
hg. Construct a confidence interval estimate of the mean. Use a
99​%
confidence level. Are these results very different from the confidence interval
22.8
hg<μ<28.4
hg with only
12
sample​ values,
x=25.6
​hg, and
s=3.1
​hg?
 
 
 
What is the confidence interval for the population mean
μ​?
 
nothing
hg<μ<nothing
hg ​(Round to one decimal place as​ needed.)
Are the results between the two confidence intervals very​ different?
 
 
A.
​Yes, because one confidence interval does not contain the mean of the other confidence interval.
 
B.
​No, because the confidence interval limits are similar.
 
C.
​No, because each confidence interval contains the mean of the other confidence interval.
 
D.
​Yes, because the confidence interval limits are not similar.
