Question

Use a technology tool to construct a 99% confidence interval for the population mean. Interpret your answer. The table below is a random sample of the closing stock prices for a company for a recent year.

18.38, 16.93, 16.83, 17.74, 15.58, 15.60, 18.04, 19.16, 19.84, 18.27,

18.68, 20.71, 20.66, 21.09, 21.79, 22.16, 21.96, 22.19, 22.83, 20.83,

20.74, 22.11, 21.44, 22.33, 22.80, 24.33, 17.95, 14.44,

19.11, 18.44, 20.84, 21.45, 21.91, 21.85

(A) The 99% confidence interval for the population mean is:

(Round to two decimal places as needed.)

Explanation / Answer

The statistical software output for this problem is:

One sample T confidence interval:
: Mean of variable

99% confidence interval results:

Hence,

99% CI will be:

(18.85, 21.10)
