问题如下:
For a sample size of 65 with a mean of 31 taken from a normally distributed population with a variance of 529, a 99% confidence interval for the population mean will have a lower limit closest to:
选项:
A.
23.64.
B.
25.41.
C.
30.09.
解释:
A is correct.
To solve, use the structure of Confidence interval = Point estimate ± Reliability factor × Standard error, which, for a normally distributed population with known variance, is represented by the following formula:
For a 99% confidence interval, use z0.005 = 2.58. Also, σ = = 23.
Therefore, the lower limit =
我们需要用到【置信区间结构】的计算公式解决本题:
the structure of Confidence interval = Point estimate ± Reliability factor × Standard error
即:
当置信区间=99%的时候,Z0.005=2.58,且 σ = = 23.
所以,下限为:
为什么样本标准差不是除以根号64呢?
