Question 1157905: If n=17, ¯x (x-bar)=50, and s=13, construct a confidence interval at a 80% confidence level. Assume the data came from a normally distributed population.

the half-interval is t(0.90 df=16)*s/sqrt(n)
=1.337*13/sqrt(17)
=4.22. This is added to and subtracted from x bar to give the 80% CI for the parameter mu.
(45.8 < mu < 54.2)
