Question 480777: You are given the sample mean and the sample standard deviation. Use this information to sonstruct the 90% and 95% confidence intervals for the population mean. Which interval is wider? If convenient, use technology to construct the confidence intervals.
A random sample of 40 eight- ounce servings of different juice drinks has a mean of 99.1 calories and a
Atandard deviation of 48.5 calories.
The 90% confidence interval is (__,__). (round to one decimal place as needed.)

You can put this solution on YOUR website! You are given the sample mean and the sample standard deviation. Use this information to construct the 90% and 95% confidence intervals for the population mean. Which interval is wider?
Answer: The 90% is smaller than the 95%
--------------------------
If convenient, use technology to construct the confidence intervals.
A random sample of 40 eight-ounce servings of different juice drinks has a mean of 99.1 calories and a standard deviation of 48.5 calories.
---------------------------
The 90% confidence interval is (86.2,112.0). (round to one decimal place as needed.)
The 95% confidence interval is (83.6,114.6)
==========
