Suppose we take repeated random samples of 50 college students from the same population and determine a 95% confidence interval for the mean GPA from each sample. Which of the following statements is true regarding the confidence intervals? Check all that apply. The intervals are centered around the population mean GPA. The intervals are centered around the sample mean GPA. 95% of the intervals will contain the sample mean in the long run. 95% of the intervals will contain the population mean in the long run

Solution

  1. The intervals are centered around the population mean GPA: This statement is false. Confidence intervals are centered around the sample mean, not the population mean.

  2. The intervals are centered around the sample mean GPA: This statement is true. Confidence intervals are calculated from the sample mean and are centered around it.

  3. 95% of the intervals will contain the sample mean in the long run: This statement is false. The sample mean is the center of each individual confidence interval, so 100% of the intervals will contain the sample mean.

  4. 95% of the intervals will contain the population mean in the long run: This statement is true. The definition of a 95% confidence interval is that if we were to take many samples and create confidence intervals from each sample, 95% of those intervals would contain the population mean.

A simple random sample of seven (7) students is selected, and the students are asked how much time they spent studying for their University subjects (combined) outside class times. From past experience, it is known that these times (in hours) are distributed normally.The times (in hours) for the sample of students are as follows:2.3 7.2 4.5 12.5 6.6 2.5 5.5Based on these results, a confidence interval estimate for the population mean is found to be 5.9 ± 2.6.The level of confidence the researcher has used is closest to:-Group of answer choices95%90%97.5%99%

Examine the following statements and then select the one statement that is correct.Group of answer choicesA wider confidence interval means less confidence in the estimate (all other things being equal).A narrower confidence interval is always better than a wider confidence interval.For a 95% confidence interval for a population mean, there is a 95% chance that the confidence interval includes the sample mean.The width of a confidence interval is affected by both the sampling error and the required level of confidence.

A random sample of 160 households is selected to estimate the mean amount spent on electric service. A 95% confidence interval was determined from the sample results to be ($151, $216). Which of the following is the correct interpretation of this interval? We are 95% confident that the mean amount spent on electric service among the 160 households is between $151 and $216. 95% of the households will have an electric bill between $151 and $216. We are 95% confident that the mean amount spent on electric service among all households is between $151 and $216. There is a 95% chance that the mean amount spent on electric service is between $151 and $216.
