Assume that the population standard deviation is known and decide weather use of the -interval procedure to obtain a confidence interval for the population mean is reasonable. Explain your answers.
The sample data contain outliers, and the sample size is.
Two -curves have degrees of freedom and , respectively. Which one more closely resembles the standard normal curve? Explain your answer.
One-Sided One-Mean z-Intervals. Presuming that the assumptions for a one-mean z-interval are satisfied, we have the following formulas for -level confidence bounds for a population mean \(\mu\) :
- Lower confidence bound:
- Upper confidence bound:
Interpret the preceding formulas for lower and upper confidence bounds in words.
