you didnt solve #8 mad dude
1. 99% = mean ± 2.575 SEm
SEm = SD/√n
2. ± 1.96 SEm
3. Find table in the back of your statistics text labeled something like "areas under normal distribution" to find the proportion/probability (.05) to get the value for the Z score.
4. Same table, but look for .10.
To find the confidence interval for the mean of a population, you can use the formula:
Confidence Interval = mean ± (critical value) * (standard deviation / √n)
Where:
- mean is the sample mean
- critical value represents the number of standard deviations that correspond to a specific confidence level (e.g., 99%, 95%, or 90%)
- standard deviation is the population standard deviation (or the sample standard deviation if it's not provided)
- n is the sample size
Now, let's calculate the confidence intervals for each of the given scenarios:
1. Given: n = 40, mean = 15, standard deviation = 0.6, and we need a 99% confidence interval.
To calculate the critical value, you need to determine the z-score associated with the desired confidence level. For a 99% confidence level, the critical value is approximately 2.576.
Using the formula:
Confidence Interval = 15 ± (2.576) * (0.6 / √40)
Confidence Interval = 15 ± (2.576) * (0.0949)
Confidence Interval ≈ 15 ± 0.2445
Therefore, the 99% confidence interval for the mean of the population is approximately [14.755, 15.245].
2. Given: n = 50, mean = 6, standard deviation = 1, and we need a 95% confidence interval.
For a 95% confidence level, the critical value is approximately 1.96.
Using the formula:
Confidence Interval = 6 ± (1.96) * (1 / √50)
Confidence Interval = 6 ± (1.96) * (0.1414)
Confidence Interval ≈ 6 ± 0.2773
Therefore, the 95% confidence interval for the mean of all pizza delivery workers is approximately [5.7227, 6.2773].
3. Given: n is not provided, mean = 2.3, standard deviation = 0.4, and we need a 90% confidence interval.
Since the sample size (n) is not given, you cannot calculate the exact confidence interval without it.
4. Given: n = 100, mean = 1.5, standard deviation = 0.3, and we need an 80% confidence interval.
For an 80% confidence level, the critical value is approximately 1.282.
Using the formula:
Confidence Interval = 1.5 ± (1.282) * (0.3 / √100)
Confidence Interval = 1.5 ± (1.282) * (0.03)
Confidence Interval ≈ 1.5 ± 0.0385
Therefore, the 80% confidence interval for the mean of the population is approximately [1.4615, 1.5385].
Please note that without knowing the sample size (n) in question 3, the confidence interval cannot be determined accurately.

6. In a sample of 35 high school seniors, 14 of them are attending college in the fall. Find the 95% confidence interval for the true proportion of high school seniors that will attend college in the fall from the population.
0.14 +/- (1.96)(√0.14)/(0.86)/35)
0.16436428065
0.1643 - .5/1000 = 0.1638 -.0005 = 0.1633
0.1643 + .5/1000 = 0.1648 + .0005 = 0.1653
16.33%-16.53%
7. In a sample of 200 people, 76 people would rather work out at home than in a gym. Find the 99% confidence interval for the true proportion of people who would rather work out at home than in a gym for the entire population.
0.76 +/- (2.575) ((√0.76)/(-0.24)/200)
0.71323264675
0.713 - .5/1000 = 0.7125 -.0005 = 0.712
0.713 + .5/1000 = 0.7135 + .0005 = 0.714
71.2%-71.4%
