Use the given information to construct a 95% confidence interval estimate of the mean of the population. n = 62, σ = 11.4, = 102.1

A. 101.7 < μ < 102.5

B. 66.1 < μ < 138.1

C. 100.7 < μ < 103.5

D. 99.3 < μ < 104.9

Answer:

[tex]99.3<\mu<104.9[/tex]

Therefore, option D is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given [tex]n=62,\sim=11.4\text{and}\bar{x}=102.1[/tex]

The formula to find interval is:[tex]\mu[/tex] which is unknown mean.

[tex]\bar{x}\pm\frac{\sim}{\sqrt{n}}\cdot \text{z-score}[/tex]

So, 95% confidence interval is standard value of z-score at 95% confidence interval is 1.96

Substituting the values in the formula we will get:

[tex]102.1/pm\frac{11.4}{\sqrt{62}}(1.96)[/tex]

On simplifying the above equation we will get:

Taking [tex]102.1-\frac{11.4}{\sqrt{62}}(1.96)=99.26≈99.3[/tex]

and [tex]102.1+\frac{11.4}{\sqrt{62}}(1.96)=104.93[/tex]  

Therefore, option D is correct.

[tex]99.3<\mu<104.9[/tex]
