Supposexhas a normal distribution withs=1.8. A random sample of size19has a sample mean ofx= 50.

(a) What conditions are necessary for your calculations? (Select all that apply.)

  • normal distribution ofx
  • is known
  • is unknown
  • uniform distribution ofx

(b) Find a 90% confidence interval for mu. What is the margin of error? (Round your answers to two decimal places.)

  • lower limit =
  • upper limit =
  • margin of error=

(c) Interpret your results in the context of this problem.

  • 1. The probability that this interval contains the true average is 0.80.
  • 2. There is a 90% chance that the interval is one of the intervals containing the true average.
  • 3. There is a 20% chance that the interval is one of the intervals containing the true average.
  • 4. The probability that this interval contains the true average is 0.20.
