[Solved] MATH399N Week 6 Assignment: Confidence Interval for Population Mean- Population Standard Deviation UnKnown

Question

The commute times for workers in a city are normally distributed with an unknown population mean and standard deviation. If a random sample of 20 workers is taken and results in a sample mean of 21 minutes and sample standard deviation of 6 minutes, find a 95% confidence interval estimate for the population mean using the Student’s t-distribution.

The margin of error for a 95% confidence interval estimate for the population mean using the Student’s t-distribution is 2.81. Find a 95% confidence interval estimate for the population mean using the Student’s t-distribution.

  • Round the final answers to two decimal places.

Question

Suppose that the exam scores for students in a large university course are normally distributed with an unknown mean and standard deviation. The scores of 42 randomly sampled students in the course are used to estimate the mean of the population. What t-score should be used to find the 99% confidence interval for the population mean?
