Summary and Homework
• Summary
– We can use a sample {mean, proportion, variance,
standard deviation} to estimate the population
{mean, proportion, variance, standard deviation}
– In each case, we can use the appropriate model to
construct a confidence interval around our
estimate
– The confidence interval expresses the confidence
we have that our calculated interval contains the
true parameter
• Homework:
pg 497 – 501; 1, 3, 8, 9, 15, 23, 24
Homework
1: (α/2=0.005, df=18-1=17) read from table: 2.898
3: (α/2=0.025, df=22-1=21) read from table: 10.283, 35.479
8: a) n>30 large sample (σ known)
b) (α/2=0.03) Z=1.88 [315.15, 334.85]
c) (α/2=0.01) Z=2.326 [312.81, 337.19]
d) (α/2=0.025) Z=1.96 n > 147.67
9: a) large sample size allows for x-bar to be normally distributed
from a non-normal (skewed data distribution: mean vs median)
b) (α/2=0.05) t=1.646 MOE=0.298 [12.702, 13.298]
15: a) x-bar = 3.244, s = 0.487
b) yes

d) (α/2=0.005) [2.807, 3.681]
e) (α/2=0.005) [0.312, 1.001]
23: same because t-dist is symmetric
24: t-dist, because the tails are larger
