Chapter 7: Q1 (page 327)
In Exercises 1鈥3, refer to the accompanying screen display that results from the Verizon airport data speeds (Mbps) from Data Set 32 鈥淎irport Data Speeds鈥 in Appendix B. The confidence level of 95% was used
Airport Data Speeds Refer to the accompanying screen display.
a. Express the con铿乨ence interval in the format that uses the 鈥渓ess than鈥 symbol. Given that the original listed data use one decimal place, round the con铿乨ence interval limits accordingly.
b. Identify the best point estimate of and the margin of error.
c. In constructing the con铿乨ence interval estimate of , why is it not necessary to con铿乺m that the sample data appear to be from a population with a normal distribution?
Short Answer
a. The confidence interval is .
b. The best point estimate of is equal to 17.60 Mbps. The value of the margin of error is equal to 4.55 Mbps.
c. There is no need to confirm that the sample data appears to be from a population with a normal distribution because the sample size is greater than 30.
