Question 1207887: 1. For a sample of size 20 taken from a normally distributed population with standard deviation equal to 5, a 90% confidence interval for the population mean would require the use of:
a. z = 2.58
b. t = 1.328
c. z = 1.96
d. z = 1.645
e. t = 1.729
You can put this solution on YOUR website! this is 1.645 or d. We know the population sd, so we aren't estimating it from the sample. This uses a z-test and for 90% 1.645 is the value.
