Question

1. A sample of size 9 is collected from a population which has a standard deviation of 5. The sample mean is calculated as 20. What is the confidence interval under 90% confidence level?

2. In HW5 part c, with your Excel sheet output for the regression, by looking at the p-value, compared with the significance level of 0.05, do you think the true intercept is different from 0? Do you think the true slope is different from 0?

part c:

Given the sample collected bellow:

X: 3, 2, 5,    7,   3

Y: 9, 5, 12, 15, 8

Calculate manually the following:

c) use excel to report the 99% confidence intervals of the true intercept alpha and the true slope beta (your regression output in excel should confirm your manually calculated a and b estimates.)

Explanation / Answer

= M ± Z(sM)

where:

M = sample mean
Z = Z statistic determined by confidence level=1.64
sM = standard error = (s2/n)= (92/5) = 4.02

= 20 ± 1.64*4.02

= 20 ± 6.62

90% CI [13.38, 26.62]
