a. Construct a 90 per cent confidence interval for the population mean µ.
b. Construct a 95 per cent confidence interval for µ.
c. Construct a 99 per cent confidence interval for µ.
A survey of 750 university students found they were paying on average €108 per week in accommodation costs. Assume the population standard deviation for weekly accommodation costs is €22.
a. Construct a 90 percent confidence interval estimate of the population mean µ.
b. Construct a 95 percent confidence interval estimate of µ.
c. Construct a 99 percent confidence interval estimate of µ.
d. Discuss what happens to the width of the confidence interval as the confidence level is increased. Does this result seem reasonable? Explain.
