Develop a 98% confidence interval forthe population mean, iuse tDarbution Table ) (Round your answers to 3 decimal places.) Confidence interval for the population mean is the company's claim that the Typical customer spends 562 per month reasonable? Yes E 101

Explanation / Answer

Solution:- Given that 64,66,64,69,59,65,68,62,64,68,53,66

a. Estimated population mean = $64

b. Given a=0.02, t=(0.01, df=n-1=11) =2.72 (from student t table)


So 98% confidence interval is

xbar +/-t*s/sqrt(n)

--> 64 +/- 2.72* 4.431/sqrt(12)

--> (60.521, 67.479)

c) option A. Yes
