You can put this solution on YOUR website! A sample survey of 54 discount brokers showed that the mean price charged for a trade of 100 shares at $50 per share was $33.77. The survey is conducted annually. WIth the historical data available, assume a known population standard deviation of $15.
---------------
a. Using the sample data, what is the margin of error associated with a 95% confidence interval?
ME = (t-value of 0.95 with df = 100)[s/sqrt(n)]
ME = (1.9842)[15/sqrt(100)] = 2.9763
-----------------------------
b. Develop 95% confidence interval for the mean price charged by discount brokers for a trade of 100 shares at $50 per share.
95%CI: 33.77-2.9763 < u < 33.77+2.9763
