Question

As part of the course requirement each student taking E270 is to build an interval with a 95% confidence level for the population mean monthly rent for two-bedroom apartments in Marion County. Each student is required to obtain a random sample of size n = 100. The number of students participating in this project is 294. After each student submits his/her interval estimate, the instructor would expect about As part of the course requirement each student taking E270 is to build an interval with a 95% confidence level for the population mean monthly rent for two-bedroom apartments in Marion County.

Explanation / Answer

Hi,


Please find the answer as follows:


The 95% confidence interval indicates that 95% of the intervals built around the means from samples of a given size would capture the population mean. We are given 294 intervals in this question. Therefore we would expect 294*0.95 = 279.30 or 279 of these intervals to capture
