Find a confidence interval for 兪 assuming that each sample is from a normal population.
a. 丳 x = 14, 冃 = 4, n = 5, 90 percent confidence
b. 丳 x = 37, 冃 = 5, n = 15, 99 percent confidence
c. 丳 x = 121, 冃 = 15, n = 25, 95 percent confidence

Need to show my work/formula
Thanks,

Assuming two-tailed test, x = mean, 僁 = Standard deviation:

90% = mean 睜1.645 SEm

SEm = SD/√n = Standard Error of the mean

99% = mean 睜2.575 SEm

95% = mean 睜1.96 SEm

Find table in the back of your statistics text labeled something like "areas under normal distribution" to find the proportions and their related Z scores.
