a sample of 79 eggs yields a sample mean weight of 1.00 ounces. assuming that the population standard deviation

Sagot :

The margin of error for 16 eggs with sample means 2 ounce and standard deviation as 42 ounces is   18.407   .

In the question ,

it is given that ,

the number of eggs = 16

the sample means weight is = 2 ounce .

the standard deviation is = 42 ounces .

we have to find the margin of error .

degree of freedom is 16 - 1 = 15 .

and the t score for the 90% confidence interval is

t₁₅,₀.₀₅ = 1.753

So , the margin of error is =  t₁₅,₀.₀₅×(standard deviation/√n)

Substituting the values ,

we get ,

= 1.753×(42/√16)

On simplifying further ,

we get ,

= 18.407

Therefore , the margin of error is = 18.407 .

The given question is incomplete , the complete question is

A sample of 16 eggs yields a sample mean weight of 2.00 ounces and a sample standard deviation = 42.0 ounces, find the margin of error in estimating a confidence interval estimate at the 90% level of confidence. Round your answer to three decimal places. You may assume that egg weights are normally distributed .
