A random sample is drawn from a population with = 12. The sample mean is 30.
Question:
(a) Compute a 95% confidence interval for μ based on a sample of size 49. What is the value of the margin of error?
(b) Compute a 95% confidence interval for μ based on a sample of size 100. What is the value of the margin of error?
(c) Compute a 95% confidence interval for μ based on a sample of size 225. What is the value of the margin of error?
(d) Compare the margins of error for parts (a)–(c). As the sample size increases, does the margin of error decrease?
(e) Compare the lengths of the confidence intervals for parts (a)–(c). As the sample size increases, does the length of a 90% confidence interval decrease?

I am a retired teacher with 6 years of experience teaching various science subjects to high school students and undergraduate students. This background enables me to be able to help tutor students who are struggling with the science of business component of their education. Teaching difficult subjects has definitely taught me patience. There is no greater joy for me than to patiently guide a student to the correct answer. When a student has that "aha!" moment, all my efforts are worth it.
The Common Core standards are a useful yardstick for measuring how well students are doing. My students consistently met or exceeded the Common Core standards for science. I believe in working with each student's individual learning styles to help them understand the material. If students were struggling with a concept, I would figure out a different way to teach or apply that concept. I was voted Teacher of the Year six times in my career. I also won an award for Innovative Teaching Style at the 2011 National Teaching Conference.
