Chapter 8: Q 8.56 (page 331)

State True or False. Give Reasons for your answers.

The confidence interval can be obtained if you know only the margin of error and the sample mean.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The given statement is True.

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

Sample mean is known and Margin of Error is known.

02

Explanation

Confidence Interval is calculated as

Confidence Interval =Mean ±Margin of Error

Therefore, the confidence interval can be obtained if you know only the margin of error and the sample mean

Hence, the given statement is True.

Political Prisoners. A. Ehlers et al. studied various characteristics of political prisoners from the former East Germany and presented their findings in the paper "Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Following Political Imprisonment: The Role of Mental Defeat. Alienation, and Perceived Permanent Change". According to the article. the mean duration of imprisonment for 32 patients with chronic PTSD was 33.4months. Assuming that σ=42months, determine a 95%confidence interval for the mean duration of imprisonment,μ. of all East German political prisoners with chronic PTSD. Interpret your answer in words.

One-Sided One-Mean t-Intervals. Presuming that the assumptions for a one-mean t-interval are satisfied, we have the following formulas for (1-α)-level confidence bounds for a population mean μ:

  • Lower confidence bound: x¯-tα-s/Ï€
  • Upper confidence bound: x^+tα·s/n

Interpret the preceding formulas for lower and upper confidence bounds in words.
