Question 974874: Determine the level of the confidence given the confidence coefficient z(α/2) for the situation:Determine the level of the confidence given the confidence coefficient z(α/2) for each situation:
z(α/2) = 1.96
Please show your work as to how you obtain the confidence level from the given confidence coefficient. e
Very lost with this one!

Use a table like this one



look at the bottom row that starts with Z. In that row, you'll see 1.960. Right below it is 95%

So a 95% confidence level corresponds to z(α/2) = 1.96
