How confident? The figure shows the result of taking 25SRSs from a Normal population and constructing a confidence interval for the population mean using each sample. Which confidence level鈥攔ole="math" localid="1654197644211" 80%,90%,95%,or99%鈥攄o you think was used? Explain your reasoning.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Confidence Level of80%is used.

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

It is given that:

02

Determining Confidence Level

Calculating Confidence Level

2125=0.84

84%

Red line implies those sample means which have no true population mean.

Hence, 4samples out of 25don't have true population. So, 21sample have true mean.

Closest Confidence Level is80%.

Willows in Yellowstone Writers in some fields summarize data by giving x 虅 and its

standard error rather than x炉andSX.Biologists studying willow plants in Yellowstone National Park reported their results in a table with columns labeled x炉andSX The table entry for the heights of willow plants (in centimeters) in one region of the park was 61.55卤19.03. The researchers measured a total of 23plants.

a. Find the sample standard deviation sxfor these measurements.

b. A hasty reader believes that the interval given in the table is a 95% confidence interval for the mean height of willow plants in this region of the park. Find the actual confidence level for the given interval.
