Sagot :

Using the t-distribution, the 95% confidence interval of the population mean rating for Miami is (4.97, 6.51).

What is a t-distribution confidence interval?

The confidence interval is:

[tex]\overline{x} \pm t\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

In which:

  • [tex]\overline{x}[/tex] is the sample mean.
  • t is the critical value.
  • n is the sample size.
  • s is the standard deviation for the sample.

The parameters for this problem are given as follows:

[tex]\overline{x} = 5.74, s = 2.7, n = 50[/tex]

The critical value, using a t-distribution calculator, for a two-tailed 95% confidence interval, with 50 - 1 = 49 df, is t = 2.0096.

Hence the bounds of the interval are given as follows:

[tex]\overline{x} - t\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 5.74 - 2.0096\frac{2.7}{\sqrt{50}} = 4.97[/tex]

[tex]\overline{x} + t\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 5.74 + 2.0096\frac{2.7}{\sqrt{50}} = 6.51[/tex]
