    The document contains solutions to two statistics questions. For the first question, it calculates the mean and variance of a sampling distribution. The mean is 6.428 and the variance is 29.388. For the second question, it is given a sample mean, size, and variance and asked to calculate a 96% confidence interval for the population mean. The interval calculated is 40.892 to 44.308.

    σ =70.714−41.326

    σ =29.388

    Question 2:
    A random sample of 36 observations is drawn from a normal distribution with variance
    . Suppose that the sample mean is found to be Find 96% confidence
    Z  2.05
    interval for populations mean (Use table value as 0.02 )

    Solution:

    Here,

    n = 36 x=42.6 s = √ σ 2= √ 25 = 5

    For 96% confidence level, z value = 2.05

    s s
    x−Z ∝ ≤ μ ≤ x+ Z ∝

    42.6−1.708 ≤ μ ≤ 42.6+ 1.708

    40.892 ≤ μ ≤ 44.308
