Question 1042480: A random sample of health maintenance organizations (HMOs) was selected. For each HMO, the co-payment (in dollars) for a doctor's office visit was recorded. The results are as follows:
5, 6, 7, 11, 12, 7, 5, 10, 8
Under the assumption that co-payment amounts are normally distributed, find a 90% confidence interval for the mean co-payment amount in dollars.
what is the lower limit and upper limit?

You can put this solution on YOUR website! The results are as follows:
5, 6, 7, 11, 12, 7, 5, 10, 8
Under the assumption that co-payment amounts are normally distributed, find a 90% confidence interval for the mean co-payment amount in dollars.
what is the lower limit and upper limit?
x-bar = 7.89
-----
ME + 1.645*2.57/sqrt(9) = 1.409
-----
90% CI:: 7.89-1.409 < u < 7.89+1.409
lower limit:: 6.481
upper limit:: 9.299
