(c) Which distribution should you use for this problem? Explain your choice.
Xt20Xt20, sincethe sample size is smallis being used as an estimate forss. | ||
XN(10,070,7,330)XN10,070,7,330, since the underlying population is normal. | ||
Xt20Xt20, since the sample size is small andssis being used as an estimate for. | ||
Xt19Xt19, since the sample size is small andssis being used as an estimate for. | ||
Xt19Xt19, sincethe sample size is smallis being used as an estimate forss. |
(d) Construct a97%97%confidence interval for the population mean enrollment at community colleges in the United States.
Enter your answer in interval notation. Round your answer to the nearest integer. Do not round any intermediate calculations.
(e) What will happen to the error bound and confidence interval if300300community colleges were surveyed? Why?
The error bound and confidence interval will both decrease since increasing the sample size decreases variability in the sample. | ||
