What is the confidence level of a confidence interval?

• The margin of error of the interval

• The maximum error of estimation of the interval

• The probability that the drawn samples would produce intervals that contain the true population mean

• The probability that the interval does not contain the population mean

What is the margin of error for a 98% confidence interval?

What is the purpose of interval estimation?

• To calculate the mean squared error of the population mean

• To provide a single point estimate of the population mean

• To provide an upper and lower boundary for the population mean

• To estimate the population standard deviation

What is the margin of error in a confidence interval?

• The largest possible distance from the point estimate that the interval will cover

• The smallest possible distance from the point estimate that the interval will cover

• The difference between the upper and lower boundaries of the interval

• The difference between the sample mean and the population mean

The mean of the sampling distribution for average taxi fare where the sample size is 25 is _____.

A research group wishes to estimate the mean amount of time (in hours) that members of a fitness center spend exercising each week. They want to estimate the mean within a margin of error of 0.5 hours with a 95% level of confidence. Previous data suggests that the standard deviation of the population is 2.2. Which of the following is the smallest sample size they could use?

• 60

• 75

• 90

• 180
