equation editorEquation Editor 1. x⎯⎯⎯±1.282(σn√)
equation editorEquation Editor 2. x⎯⎯⎯±1.96(σn√)
equation editorEquation Editor 3. x⎯⎯⎯±2.575(σn√)
A. 80 % B. 95 % C. 99 %
Solution
Here are the confidence intervals with their corresponding confidence levels:
- corresponds to A. 80% confidence level.
- corresponds to B. 95% confidence level.
- corresponds to C. 99% confidence level.
Explanation:
- The z-score of 1.282 is associated with an 80% confidence level.
- The z-score of 1.96 is commonly used for a 95% confidence level.
- The z-score of 2.575 is used for a 99% confidence level.
Would you like a detailed explanation of how these z-scores are derived from the standard normal distribution?
Here are 5 related questions to explore further:
- What is the relationship between confidence level and margin of error?
- How is the confidence interval for a sample proportion calculated?
- What is the effect of increasing the sample size on the confidence interval?
- How do you calculate the required sample size for a desired confidence level and margin of error?
- How do you interpret a 95% confidence interval in practical terms?
Tip: Increasing the confidence level widens the confidence interval, while decreasing it makes the interval narrower.
