A simple random sample of 49 items from a population with standard deviation 10 resulted in a sample mean of 25. Then the 95% confidence interval for population mean are :

(Given zα/2=1.96z_{\alpha/2} = 1.96 where α=0.05\alpha = 0.05)

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

Standard error =1049=107=\dfrac{10}{\sqrt{49}}=\dfrac{10}{7}.

Margin of error =1.96×107=2.8=1.96\times\dfrac{10}{7}=2.8.

Interval =25±2.8=(22.2, 27.8)=25\pm 2.8=(22.2,\,27.8).
