WRITTEN WORKS:

1. A. Find the 99% confidence interval for entire score of the student in the class.

Solving for a:

1−a=99 %

a=1 %=0.01

So,

a 0.01
= =0.005
2 2

Z 0.005=2.575

Solving for the confidence interval:

( √1085 )< μ< 80+( 2.575) ( √1085 )
80−( 2.575 ) ( 1.08 ) < μ<80+ ( 2.781 )( 1.08 )

80−2.781< μ<80+2.781

77.219< μ< 82.781

Answer: With 99% confidence, the entire score of the student in the class are between 77.22 and 82.78
based from the sample.

B. Find the margin of error if the confident level id 90%.

Solving for a:

1−a=90 %

a=10 %=0.1

Solving for margin of error:

E=1.645 (1.08 )

E=1.78 ≈ 2

Answers: At 90% confidence level, the margin error is 2.

C. Find the lower limit and upper limit of the entire score at 95%.

Solving for a:

1−a=95 %

a=5 %=0.025

So,

a 0.05

Answer: Therefor ,with 95% confidence the lower limit and upper limit are44.9< μ<52.1

2. A. The point estimate of population.

B. The margin error of the confidence level is 98%.

Solving for a:

1−a=98 %

a=2 %=0.02

Solving for margin error:

E=(2.33) ( 158.13 )

E=368.4429 ≈368

Answer: at 98% confidence level, the margin error is 368.

C. The 95 confidence interval of the monthly income of all the families that belong to the poverty level.

Solving for a:

1−a=95 %

a=5 %=0.05

Answer: With 95% confidence, the monthly income of all the families that belong to the poverty level
are between Php 3,190.07 and 3,809.93 based from the sample.
