问题如下:
For a sample size of 65 with a mean of 31 taken from a normally distributed population with a variance of 529, a 99% confidence interval for the population mean will have a lower limit closest to:
选项:
A.23.64.
B.25.41.
C.30.09.
解释:
A is correct.
To solve, use the structure of Confidence interval = Point estimate ± Reliability factor × Standard error, which, for a normally distributed population with known variance, is represented by the following formula:
For a 99% confidence interval, use z0.005 = 2.58. Also, σ = = 23. Therefore, the lower limit = .
老师我看了您给其他学生的回答,还是不理解99%的confidence level Z=0.005,为什么Z会等于0.005? 按照Z表格,0.99%最接近于0.9901%那么对应的数字不应该是2.33吗?为什么是2.58呢?
