A simple random sample of 40 items resulted in a sample mean of 25. The population standard deviation is 5.
a. What is the standard deviation of the sample means?:: 5/sqrt(40)
-----------------------
b. At 90% confidence, what is the margin of error?
ME = 1.645*5/sqrt(40)
--------------------------------
c. What is 90% confidence interval estimate for the population mean?
25- ME < u < 25+ME
---------------------------------
d. At 95% confidence, what is the margin of error?
ME = 1.96*5/sqrt(40)
----------------------------
e. What is 95% confidence interval estimate for the population mean?
25-ME < u < 25+ME
------------
