A random sample of 17 values from a normal population has a mean of 105 cm and the sample standard deviation is 8.489. If normal population mean is 110 cm, then the upper limit of confidence at 5% level of significance is : (Given t16(0.05)=2.12t_{16}(0.05) = 2.12)

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

Standard error =8.48917−1=8.4894=2.122= \frac{8.489}{\sqrt{17-1}} = \frac{8.489}{4} = 2.122. The margin is 2.12×2.122=4.502.12 \times 2.122 = 4.50, so the upper confidence limit is 105+4.50=109.50105 + 4.50 = 109.50.
