The mean diastolic blood pressure for a random sample of 80 people was 100 millimeters of mercury. If the standard deviation of individual blood pressure readings is known to be 11 millimeters of mercury, find a 95% confidence interval for the true mean diastolic blood pressure of all people. Then give its lower limit and upper limit.

The confidence interval for the true mean diastolic blood pressure of all people is 100 ± 2.41 where the lower limit is 97.59 and the upper limit is 102.41

How to determine the confidence interval?

We have:

Mean = 100

Sample size = 80

Standard deviation = 11

At 95% confidence interval, the critical z value is:

z = 1.96

The confidence interval is then calculated as:

[tex]CI = \bar x \pm z \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt n}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]CI = 100 \pm 1.96 \frac{11}{\sqrt {80}}[/tex]

Evaluate the product

[tex]CI = 100 \pm \frac{21.56}{\sqrt {80}}[/tex]

Divide

[tex]CI = 100 \pm 2.41[/tex]

Split

CI  = (100 - 2.41,100 + 2.41)

Evaluate

CI  = (97.59,102.41)

Hence, the confidence interval for the true mean diastolic blood pressure of all people is 100 ± 2.41
