问题如下:
For a sample size of 17, with a mean of 116.23 and a variance of 245.55, the width of a 90% confidence interval using the appropriate t-distribution is closest to:
选项:
A.13.23.
B.13.27.
C.13.68.
解释:
B is correct.
The confidence interval is calculated using the following equation: Sample standard deviation (s) = = 15.670. For a sample size of 17, degrees of freedom equal 16, so t0.05 = 1.746. The confidence interval is calculated as
Therefore, the interval spans 109.5943 to 122.8656, meaning its width is equal to approximately 13.271. (This interval can be alternatively calculated as 6.6357 × 2).
老师,这道题的SAMPLE SIZE是17,应该是大于30,才服从T分布吧?
