Adam tabulated the values for the average speeds on each day of his road trip as 60.5, 63.2, 54.7, 51.6,
72.3, 70.7, 67.2, and 65.4 mph. The sample standard deviation is 7.309.
Select the 98% confidence interval for Adam’s set of data.
46.94 to 79.46
55.45 to 70.95
46.94 to 71.33
55.45 to 79.46
RATIONALE
In order to get the 98% CI , we first need to find the critical
t-score. Using a t-table, we need to find (n-1) degrees of freedom, or (8-1) = 7 df and the corresponding
CI.
Using the 98% CI in the bottom row and 7 df on the far left column, we get a t-critical score of 2.998.
We also need to calculate the mean:
So we use the formula to find the confidence interval:
The lower bound is:
63.2-7.75 = 55.45
The upper bound is:
63.2+7.75 = 70.95
