(Round the intermediate values to 4 decimal places. Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)
90% confidence interval:
enter the lower limit of the 90% confidence interval
≤ μ ≤
enter the upper limit of the 90% confidence interval
95% confidence interval:
enter the lower limit of the 95% confidence interval
≤ μ ≤
enter the upper limit of the 95% confidence interval
99% confidence interval:
enter the lower limit of the 99% confidence interval
≤ μ ≤
enter the upper limit of the 99% confidence interval
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Need the mean and sd
mean is 12.11, THIS IS THE POINT ESTIMATE
sd s is 0.528
the half-interval is tdf=9, appropriate CI wished*s/sqrt(n)
so for 90% where t=1.833
the half-interval is 1.833*0.528/sqrt(10)=0.3061
the 90% CI for the mean is mean+/-0.31 or (11.80, 12.42)
95% is done the same way with t=2.262
99% has t=2.821
