Part 1: Confidence Intervals

  1. Why
    is it often impossible to know the actual value of any population
    parameter? Give an example of a population parameter that you cannot
    calculate, but that you can estimate.
  2. A sample can be used to
    estimate a population parameter. How does the sample size affect the
    estimate? If the sample is larger, what will this do to the error E?
  3. Use
    the Confidence Interval formula above and calculate the 95% confidence
    interval for any population mean of your choice. Write down (invent) the
    sample size (be sure it is 30 or above), the sample mean, and the
    sample standard deviation. Then, calculate the confidence interval.
    Remember, you are inventing all the values, so no two posts should look
    the same.
  4. Use Excel and your invented values to calculate the
    confidence interval. Include and compare the results. (Tutorials can be
    found in Doc Sharing). Again, remember that your sample size must be 30
    or above.
