Question

A random sample of 15 DVD players has a mean price of $64.30 and a standard deviation of $5.60. Find a 95% confidence interval for the mean price of all DVD players. (61.20, 67.40) (61.47, 67.13) (61.22, 67.38) (61.10, 67.51) None In a survey of 250 Internet users, 195 have high-speed Internet access at home. Find a point estimate for the proportion of all internet users who have high-speed internet access at home. 1.28 0.78 0.22 195 None In a survey of 250 Internet users, 195 have high-speed Internet access at home. Find a 90% confidence interval for the proportion of all Internet users who have high-speed Internet access at home. (1.19, 1.38) (0.728, 0.832) (0.731, 0.829) (0.737, 0.823) None You want to estimate, with 95% confidence, the proportion of households with pets. Your estimate must be accurate within 3% of the population proportion. No preliminary estimate is available. Find the minimum sample size needed. 1141 3267 1068 1067 None

Explanation / Answer

10.

Note that              
Margin of Error E = t(alpha/2) * s / sqrt(n)              
Lower Bound = X - t(alpha/2) * s / sqrt(n)              
Upper Bound = X + t(alpha/2) * s / sqrt(n)              
              
where              
alpha/2 = (1 - confidence level)/2 =    0.025          
X = sample mean =    64.3          
t(alpha/2) = critical t for the confidence interval =    2.144786688          
s = sample standard deviation =    5.6          
n = sample size =    15          
df = n - 1 =    14          
Thus,              
Margin of Error E =    3.101176633          
Lower bound =    61.19882337          
Upper bound =    67.40117663          
              
Thus, the confidence interval is              
              
(   61.19882337   ,   67.40117663   ) [ANSWER, A]
