Question

Suppose that, for a sample of size n=100n=100 measurements, we find that xˉ=50\bar{x}=50. Assuming that σ\sigma equals 22, calculate confidence intervals for the population mean μ\mu with the following confidence levels:

The formula for the confidence interval for the population mean is given below,

Xˉ±Zα2σn=(XˉZα2σn,Xˉ+Zα2σn)\bar{X}\plusmn Z_{\frac{\alpha}{2}}\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}=\left(\bar{X}-Z_{\frac{\alpha}{2}}\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}},\bar{X}+ Z_{\frac{\alpha}{2}}\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}\right)

Xˉ\bar{X} is the sample mean, nn is the sample size, and Zα2Z_{\frac{\alpha}{2}} is the critical value from the standardized normal distribution.
