问题如下:
For a sample size of 37, with a mean of 116.23 and a variance of 245.55, the width of a 90% confidence interval using the appropriate t-distribution is closest to:
选项:
A.8.5480.
B.8.6970
C.8.8456.
解释:
B is correct.
The confidence interval is calculated using the following equation:
Sample standard deviation (s) = = 15.670.
For a sample size of 37, degrees of freedom equal 36, so t0.05 = 1.688.
The confidence interval is calculated as:
Therefore, the interval spans 120.5785 to 111.8815, meaning its width is equal to approximately 8.6970. (This interval can be alternatively calculated as 4.3485 × 2).
样本标准差的计算如下:
= 15.670.
当样本=37,自由度=36,那么 t0.05 = 1.688.
置信区间计算如下:
因此,置信区间为:111.8815 - 120.5785,这意味着其宽度大约等于 8.6970。 (这个区间也可以计算为 4.3485 × 2)。
tα/2是什么呢?课上好像没详细说这个公式
