    This document appears to be a quiz for a statistics class. It contains questions about calculating 95% confidence intervals from random samples of normal populations: (1) The first question provides a 95% CI of (16.1, 25.9) and asks for the sample mean (X̄ = 20.5) and size (n = 40), based on the given standard deviation and properties of the normal distribution. (2) The second question gives a sample mean (X̄ = 22.12) and variance (S^2 = 10.966) from a sample of size 10, and asks questions about constructing and interpreting the resulting 95% CI, and whether the value 20 is plausible

    Banner ID: B00 Section:

    1. A random sample from a normal population with known standard deviation σ = 10 is used
    to calculate a 95% confidence interval for the population µ as (16.1, 25.9).

    (a) What is the sample mean, (X̄)?

    (b) What is the sample size, (n)?

    2. From a normal population, we selcect a simple random sample of size 10 and clacuate the
    sample mean X̄ = 22.12 and sample variance S 2 = 10.966.

    (a) Construct a 95% confidence interval for the population mean.

    (b) Interpret the interval constructed in (a).

    (c) Is 20 a plausible value for µ? Explain.

    (d) If you take another simple random sample of the same size n = 10, and construct
    another 95% confidence interval, will it have the same margin of error? Explain.
