Give your answers to one decimal place. Answer by Theo(13342) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! sample size is 31
sample mean is 41
sample standard deviation is 18
t = (x - m) / s
s is the standard error
standard error = standard deviation / square root of sample size = 18 / sqrt(31) = 3.232895436.
critical t-score for 90% confidence interval at 30 degrees of freedom = plus or minus 1.697260851.
use criticsl t-score formula to find critical raw score.
on the low side, you get -1.697260851 = (x - 41) / 2.232895436.
solve for x to get x = -1.697260851 * 2.232895436 + 41 = 35.51293314.
on the high side, you get 1.697260851 = (x - 41) / 2.232895436.
solve for x to get x = 1.697260851 * 2.232895436 + 41 = 46.48706686.
your 90% confidence interval is from 35.5 to 46.5.
