... The third number is the sample size. Excel only needs these three values for a MOE calculation; we’ll see more later in class! Now that you have a mean and a MOE, you can construct the CI’s! Tech note: the two endpoints of any confidence interval are often called the “LCL” (“lower confidence limit ...

... • Since δX , X, and tn−1,α/2 depend on n, we should first “guess” some value for n and determine δX , X, and tn−1,α/2. Then, we can check if the above equation is satisfied. If it is not, more observations should be made. ...
