2,560

2,550

2,500

3,060

2,500

2,110

3,760

2,950

2,510

What is the point estimate of the population mean? (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)

Develop a 95% confidence interval for the population mean. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)

  Confidence interval for the population mean is between ______ and _____

a.

What is the point estimate of the population mean? (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)

Estimated population mean: b.

Develop a 95% confidence interval for the population mean. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)

  Confidence interval for the population mean is between ______ and _____

Explanation / Answer


a.
point estimate of the population mean =2753
b.
Confidence Interval
CI = x ± t a/2 * (sd/ Sqrt(n))
Where,
x = Mean
sd = Standard Deviation
a = 1 - (Confidence Level/100)
ta/2 = t-table value
CI = Confidence Interval
Mean(x)=2753
Standard deviation( sd )=459.8079
Sample Size(n)=10
Confidence Interval = [ 2753 ± t a/2 ( 459.8079/ Sqrt ( 10) ) ]
= [ 2753 - 2.262 * (145.404) , 2753 + 2.262 * (145.404) ]
= [ 2424.096,3081.904 ]=(2424.10,3081.90)
