问题如下:
Deli Bur is a high school. A recent survey of 25 student of the high school indicates that the mean time they spend going to school is 40 minutes . This sample's standard deviation is 8 minutes. The distribution of the population is supposed to be normal. The 99% confidence interval for the mean time that all Deli Bur students spend going to the school is:
选项:
A.30.72 to 34.55
B.38.52 to 54.48
C.35.52 to 44.48
解释:
C is correct.
Because the simple size is less than 30, so the confidence interval fo rthe population whose variance is unknow is :
.
To calculate critical value: and df = 24 is 2.797.
So, the confidence interval is 40 ± 2.797(8 / 5) = 40 ± 4.48 = 35.52 to 44.48
老师,题目里给的是“The distribution of the population is supposed to be normal. ”那是不是就是说正态分布?不是应该直接用z分布吗?为什么要用t来求?
