Suppose that Susie is an analyst for the bicycling industry and wants to estimate the asking price of used entry-level road bikes advertised online in her local area. He obtains a random sample of n=14n=14 online advertisements of entry-level road bikes. He determines that the mean price for these 14 bikes is x¯=$694x¯=$694  and that the sample standard deviation is $120$120 . He uses this information to construct a 90% confidence interval for μμ, the mean price of a used road bike.

 

  1. What is the tt-critical value for the 90% confidence interval?
    Ans:  t∗=t∗=  

  2. What is the standard error?
    Ans:  SE=  

  3. What is the lower limit of this confidence interval?
    Ans:  L=L= $ 

  4. What is the upper limit of this confidence interval? 
    Ans:  U=U= $
