Question

The lower limit of the 95% confidence interval for the mean of the differences is 0.241.Which ONE of the following is the correct way to calculate the value of the upper limit?0.539 + 2 x 0.2980.539 + 2 x 0.980.539 + 0.2980.539 + 0.241

Solution

The correct way to calculate the upper limit of a 95% confidence interval is to add the value of the lower limit to twice the standard deviation. However, none of the options provided seem to follow this rule.

The closest option to this rule is "0.539 + 2 x 0.298", but this would only be correct if 0.298 was the standard deviation and 0.539 was the lower limit, which is not the case according to the information provided.

Therefore, based on the information provided, none of the options are correct.

A researcher wants to estimate the proportion of depressed individuals taking a new anti-depressant drug who find relief. A random sample of 275 individuals who had been taking the drug is questioned; 214 of them found relief from depression. Based upon this, compute a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of all depressed individuals taking the drug who find relief. Then find the lower limit and upper limit of the 95% confidence interval.Carry your intermediate computations to at least three decimal places. Round your answers to two decimal places.

Choose the correct statement. When constructing 90% confidence intervals for 20 samples of the same size from the population, exactly 90% of the samples will contain the population mean. When constructing 90% confidence intervals for 20 samples of the same size from the population, at most 90% of the samples will contain the population mean. When constructing 90% confidence intervals for 20 samples of the same size from the population, it is possible that more or fewer than 90% of the samples will contain the population mean.(d)Choose ALL that are true. The 90% confidence interval for Sample 8 does not indicate that 90% of the Sample 8 data values are between 93.0 and 98.6. The 75% confidence interval for Sample 8 is narrower than the 90% confidence interval for Sample 8. This must be the case, because when a confidence interval is constructed for a sample, the greater the level of confidence, the wider the confidence interval. From the 75% confidence interval for Sample 8, we know that there is a 75% probability that the population mean is between 93.8 and 97.8. If there were a Sample 21 of size =n44 taken from the same population as Sample 8, then the 90% confidence interval for Sample 21 would be narrower than the 90% confidence interval for Sample 8. None of the choices above are true.
