The Wall Street Journal reported that automobile crashes cost the United States $162 billion annually (The Wall Street Journal, March 5, 2008). The average cost per person for crashes in the Tampa, Florida, area was reported to be $1599. Suppose this average cost was based on a sample of 50 persons who had been involved in car crashes and that the population stan- dard deviation is o $600 a) What is the point estimate of the mean? b) Find the critical value. c) Find the standard error. d) Find the margin of error e) Construct a 95% confidence interval f) Give a one-sentence interpretation of the confidence interv al. Did you use the z-distribution or the t-distribution? Tell me why. Be sure to show all calculations. and label all answers appropriately.

Explanation / Answer

a) std err = std. dev/sqrt(sample size)
excel function is "=10/SQRT(20)" Note:10 is the standard deviation provided

Notation is "P(score < 90)"

Answer is "=NORM.DIST(90,100,A1,TRUE)" = 3.87 * 10-6

Note: This is assuming the standard error was calculated in A1 cell(see the answer formula). Make the necessary changes in your calculation.

b) std err is "=10/SQRT(50)"

Notation is "P(score > 100)"

Answer is "=1 - NORM.DIST(100,100,A1,TRUE)" = 0.5

c) std err is "=10/SQRT(36)"

Notation is "P(75 < score < 95)"

Answer is "=(NORM.DIST(95,100,A1,TRUE)) - (NORM.DIST(75,100,A1,TRUE))" = 0.001350
