If (99.8, 104.6) is a 90% confidence interval for a sample of basketball fifteen scores, what can you say about the average scores of the population?
That you are 90% sure your interval contains the population mean.

Should I use a t-distribution or a z-distribution? Suppose that you want to find out the average weight of all players on the football team at a particular College. You are able to select ten players at random and weigh them. The mean weight of the sample of players is 198 lbs, with a standard deviation of 11.50 lbs.

t

Find the critical value that corresponds to the confidence level 87%.

z=1.51

300

Do you use t score or z score when the sample standard deviation is given?

t score

Who won the Super Bowl the year of the infamous “wardrobe malfunction?”

New England Patriots

400
This is added and subtracted from the point estimate in order to construct a confidence interval

Should I use a t-distribution or Z? The average heights of a random sample of 400 people from a city is 1.75 m. It is known that the heights of the population are random variables that follow a normal distribution with a standard deviation of 0.4 m. Determine the interval of 95% confidence for the average heights of the population.

Z

Find the critical value t corresponding to a 80% confidence level, given the sample size of n=40.

t=1.304

400

Suppose that you want to find out the average weight of all players on the football team at a particular College. You are able to select ten players at random and weigh them. The mean weight of the sample of players is 198 lbs, with a standard deviation of 11.50 lbs. Construct a 90 percent confidence interval for the population weight, if you presume the players' weights are normally distributed.

We are 90 percent confident that the true population mean of football player weights is between 192 and 204 pounds.
