The t critical value for a lower or an upper confidence bound

\(\begin{array}{l}{\rm{a}}{\rm{. }}{{\rm{t}}_{{\rm{0}}{\rm{.05,10}}}}{\rm{ - 1}}{\rm{.812;}}\\{\rm{b}}{\rm{. }}{{\rm{t}}_{{\rm{0}}{\rm{.05,15}}}}{\rm{ - 1}}{\rm{.753; }}\\{\rm{c}}{\rm{. }}{{\rm{t}}_{{\rm{0}}{\rm{.01,15}}}}{\rm{ - 2}}{\rm{.602; }}\\{\rm{d}}{\rm{. }}{{\rm{t}}_{{\rm{0}}{\rm{.01,4}}}}{\rm{ - 3}}{\rm{.747;}}\\{\rm{e}}{\rm{. }}{{\rm{t}}_{{\rm{0}}{\rm{.02,24}}}}{\rm{ - 2}}{\rm{.172; }}\\{\rm{f}}{\rm{. }}{{\rm{t}}_{{\rm{0}}{\rm{.01,37}}}}{\rm{ - 2}}{\rm{.429}}\end{array}\)

Step by step solution

01

Step 1: \({\rm{Confidence level  = 95\% , df  = 10}}\)

Upper confidence bound for \({\rm{\mu }}\)and lower confidence bound for \({\rm{\mu }}\)are given by

\(\begin{array}{l}{\rm{\bar x + }}{{\rm{t}}_{{\rm{\alpha ,n - 1}}}}{\rm{ \times }}\frac{{\rm{s}}}{{\sqrt {\rm{n}} }}{\rm{ upper bound, }}\\{\rm{\bar x - }}{{\rm{t}}_{{\rm{\alpha ,n - 1}}}}{\rm{ \times }}\frac{{\rm{s}}}{{\sqrt {\rm{n}} }}{\rm{ lower bound, }}\end{array}\)

with confidence level of \({\rm{100(1 - \alpha )\% }}\)The distribution the random sample is taken from is normal.

(a):

The critical value \({{\rm{t}}_{{\rm{a,n - 1}}}}\)for an upper/lower confidence bound with confidence level\(95\% \), can be obtained as

\(\begin{array}{*{20}{r}}{{\rm{100(1 - \alpha ) - 95}}}\\{{\rm{\alpha - 0}}{\rm{.05}}}\end{array}\)

and, from the table A. 5 in the appendix, for \(10\)degrees of freedom, and \({\rm{\alpha - 0}}{\rm{.05}}\)the t critical value is

\({{\rm{t}}_{{\rm{0}}{\rm{.05,10}}}}{\rm{ = 1}}{\rm{.812}}{\rm{.}}\)The area to the left of the critical value is shaded blue on the picture and has surface area of \({\rm{1 - \alpha - 0}}{\rm{.95}}\).

02

Step 2: \({\rm{ Confidence level  =  95\% , df  = 15}}\)

(b):

The critical value \({{\rm{t}}_{{\rm{\alpha ,n - 1}}}}\)for an upper/lower confidence bound, with confidence level \(95\% \), can be obtained as

\(\begin{array}{*{20}{r}}{{\rm{100(1 - \alpha ) - 95}}}\\{{\rm{\alpha - 0}}{\rm{.05}}}\end{array}\)

and, from the table A.5 in the appendix, for 15 degrees of freedom, and \({\rm{\alpha - 0}}{\rm{.05}}\)the t critical value is

\({{\rm{t}}_{{\rm{0}}{\rm{.05,15}}}}{\rm{ = 1}}{\rm{.753}}\)

The area to the left of the critical value is shaded blue on the picture and has surface area of \({\rm{1 - \alpha - 0}}{\rm{.95}}\).

03

Step 3: \({\rm{ Confidence level  =   99\% , df = 15}}\)

(c):

The critical value \({{\rm{t}}_{{\rm{\alpha ,n - 1}}}}\) for an upper/lower confidence bound, with confidence level \(99\% \), can be obtained as

\(\begin{array}{*{20}{r}}{{\rm{100(1 - \alpha ) - 99}}}\\{{\rm{\alpha - 0}}{\rm{.01}}}\end{array}\)

and, from the table A.5 in the appendix, for \(15\) degrees of freedom, and \({\rm{\alpha - 0}}{\rm{.01}}\) the t critical value is

\({{\rm{t}}_{{\rm{0}}{\rm{.01,15}}}}{\rm{ = 2}}{\rm{.602}}\)

The area to the left of the critical value is shaded blue on the picture and has surface area of \({\rm{1 - \alpha - 0}}{\rm{.99}}\).

04

Step 4: \({\rm{Confidence level  =   99\% , n = 5}}\)

(d):

The critical value \({{\rm{t}}_{{\rm{a,n - 1}}}}\)for an upper/lower confidence bound, with confidence level \(99\% \), can be obtained as

\(\begin{array}{*{20}{r}}{{\rm{100(1 - \alpha ) - 99}}}\\{{\rm{\alpha - 0}}{\rm{.01}}}\end{array}\)

and, from the table A. 5 in the appendix, for \({\rm{n = 1 - 4}}\)degrees of freedom, and \({\rm{\alpha - 0}}{\rm{.01}}\) the t critical value is

\({{\rm{t}}_{{\rm{0}}{\rm{.01,4}}}}{\rm{ = 3}}{\rm{.747}}\)

The area to the leftof the critical value is shaded blue on the picture and has surface area of \({\rm{1 - \alpha - 0}}{\rm{.99}}\)

05

Step 5: \({\rm{\; Confidence level  = 98\% , df =   24}}\)

(e):

The critical value \({{\rm{t}}_{{\rm{a,n - 1}}}}\) for an upper/lower confidence bound, with confidence level \(98\% \), can be obtained as

\(\begin{array}{*{20}{r}}{{\rm{100(1 - \alpha ) - 98}}}\\{{\rm{\alpha - 0}}{\rm{.02}}}\end{array}\)

and, from the table A.5 in the appendix, for \(24\) degrees of freedom, and \({\rm{\alpha - 0}}{\rm{.02}}\)$ the t critical value is

\({{\rm{t}}_{{\rm{0}}{\rm{.172,24}}}}{\rm{ = 2}}{\rm{.172}}\)

The area to the left of the critical value is shaded blue on the picture and has surface area of \({\rm{1 - \alpha - 0}}{\rm{.98}}\).

06

Step 6: \({\rm{ Confidence level  =   99\% , n = 38}}\)

(f)

The critical value \({{\rm{t}}_{{\rm{a,n - 1}}}}\) for an upper/lower confidence bound, with confidence level \(99\% \)can be obtained as

\(\begin{array}{*{20}{r}}{{\rm{100(1 - \alpha ) - 99}}}\\{{\rm{\alpha - 0}}{\rm{.01}}}\end{array}\)

and, from the table A.5 in the appendix, for \({\rm{38 - 1 = 37}}\)degrees of freedom, and \({\rm{\alpha - 0}}{\rm{.01}}\)the t critical value is

\({{\rm{t}}_{{\rm{0}}{\rm{.01,37}}}}{\rm{ - 2}}{\rm{.429}}\)

The area to the left of the critical value is shaded blue on the picture and has surface area of \({\rm{1 - \alpha - 0}}{\rm{.99}}\).

Hence

\(\begin{array}{l}{\rm{a}}{\rm{. }}{{\rm{t}}_{{\rm{0}}{\rm{.05,10}}}}{\rm{ - 1}}{\rm{.812;}}\\{\rm{b}}{\rm{. }}{{\rm{t}}_{{\rm{0}}{\rm{.05,15}}}}{\rm{ - 1}}{\rm{.753; }}\\{\rm{c}}{\rm{. }}{{\rm{t}}_{{\rm{0}}{\rm{.01,15}}}}{\rm{ - 2}}{\rm{.602; }}\\{\rm{d}}{\rm{. }}{{\rm{t}}_{{\rm{0}}{\rm{.01,4}}}}{\rm{ - 3}}{\rm{.747;}}\\{\rm{e}}{\rm{. }}{{\rm{t}}_{{\rm{0}}{\rm{.02,24}}}}{\rm{ - 2}}{\rm{.172; }}\\{\rm{f}}{\rm{. }}{{\rm{t}}_{{\rm{0}}{\rm{.01,37}}}}{\rm{ - 2}}{\rm{.429}}\end{array}\)

TV advertising agencies face increasing challenges in reaching audience members because viewing TV programs via digital streaming is gaining in popularity. The Harris poll reported on November 13, 2012, that 53% of 2343 American adults surveyed said they have watched digitally streamed TV programming on some type of device.

a. Calculate and interpret a confidence interval at the 99% confidence level for the proportion of all adult Americans who watched streamed programming up to that point in time.

b. What sample size would be required for the width of a 99% CI to be at most .05 irrespective of the value of p 藛?

A journal article reports that a sample of size 5 was used as a basis for calculating a 95% CI for the true average natural frequency (Hz) of delaminated beams of a certain type. The resulting interval was (229.764, 233.504). You decide that a confidence level of 99% is more appropriate than the 95% level used. What are the limits of the 99% interval? (Hint: Use the center of the interval and its width to determine \(\overline x \) and s.)

The article 鈥淐oncrete Pressure on Formwork鈥 (Mag. of Concrete Res., 2009: 407鈥417) gave the following observations on maximum concrete pressure (kN/m2 ):

33.2 41.8 37.3 40.2 36.7 39.1 36.2 41.8

36.0 35.2 36.7 38.9 35.8 35.2 40.1

a.Is it plausible that this sample was selected from a normal population distribution?

b. Calculate an upper confidence bound with confidence level 95% for the population standard deviation of maximum pressure.

High concentration of the toxic element arsenic is all too common in groundwater. The article 鈥淓valuation of Treatment Systems for the Removal of Arsenic from Groundwater鈥 (Practice Periodical of Hazardous, Toxic, and Radioactive Waste Mgmt., 2005: 152鈥157) reported that for a sample of n = 5 water specimens selected for treatment by coagulation, the sample mean arsenic concentration was 24.3 碌g/L, and the sample standard deviation was 4.1. The authors of the cited article used t-based methods to analyze their data, so hopefully had reason to believe that the distribution of arsenic concentration was normal.

a.Calculate and interpret a 95% CI for true average arsenic concentration in all such water specimens.

b.Calculate a 90% upper confidence bound for the standard deviation of the arsenic concentration distribution.

c.Predict the arsenic concentration for a single water specimen in a way that conveys information about precision and reliability.

Consider the next \({\rm{1000}}\) 95% CIs for m that a statistical consultant will obtain for various clients. Suppose the data sets on which the intervals are based are selected independently of one another. How many of these\({\rm{1000}}\)intervals do you expect to capture the corresponding value of m? What is the probability that between \({\rm{940 and 960}}\)Do these intervals contain the corresponding value of m? (Hint: Let Y = the number among the \({\rm{1000}}\) intervals that contain m. What kind of random variable is Y?)
