Question

Here are summary statistics for randomly selected weights of newborn​ girls: n=250​, x_=32.9 ​hg, s=6.9 hg. Construct a confidence interval estimate of the mean. Use a ​95% confidence level. Are these results very different from the confidence interval 31.9 hg < μ < 34.5 hg with only 19 sample​ values, x_ = 33.2​hg, and s = 2.9 ​hg?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Here are summary statistics for randomly selected weights of newborn​ girls: n=250​, x_=32.9 ​hg, s=6.9 hg. Construct a confidence interval estimate of the mean. Use a ​95% confidence level.

The confidence interval of mean

=32.9 ± 1.96 × 6.9/250

Confidence Interval = 32.9 ± 0.5382
