Question
A study of women’s weights found that a randomly selected sample of 234 women had a mean weight of 157.3 lb. Assuming that the population standard deviation is 15.6 lb., construct a 95% confidence interval estimate of the mean weight of all women.

Answer:
(155.301 ; 159.299)
Step-by-step explanation:
Xbar = 157.3
Sample size, n = 234
Population standard deviation, σ = 15.6
The confidence interval :
Xbar ± standard Error
Standard Error = Zcritical * σ/√n
Zcritical at 95% = 1.96
Standard Error = 1.96 * (15.6/√234) = 1.999
Lower boundary : 157.3 – 1.999 = 155.301
Upper boundary : 157.3 + 1.999 = 159.299
(155.301 ; 159.299)
