8 Reliability factor for each of the following:


a. 93% confidence level: z 2 = +/– 1.81

b. 96% confidence level: z 2 = +/– 2.05

c. 80% confidence level: z 2 = +/– 1.28


7.15 a. n = 25, x = 2.90,  = .45, z.025 = 1.96
95% confidence interval:

x  z    = 2.90  1.96(.45/5) = 2.7236 up to 3.0764



 n

b. 2.99 – 2.90 = .09 = z / 2 (.45 / 5), z / 2 = 1

 = 2[1 − Fz (1)] = .3174

Confidence level: 100(1–.3174) = 68.26%

7.16 n = 25, x = 19.8,  = 1.2, z.005 = 2.58


99% confidence interval:

x  z    = 19.8  2.58(1.2/5) = 19.1808 up to 20.4192
