Sagot :

The reasonable 95% confidence intervals for the population mean difference is (7.83, 12.13) , the correct option is (a) .

In the question ,

it is given that ,

90% confidence interval is given as (8.21 , 11.75)

using this interval , we have to find the 95% confidence interval .

Now, [tex]x_{d}[/tex]  - E = 8.21

[tex]x_{d}[/tex] + E = 11.75 , where E is the margin of Error .

Solving the equations ,

we get ,

E = 1.77  and [tex]x_{d}[/tex] = 9.98

So , the margin of error E is given as

E = [tex]t_{\frac{0.10}{2},15 } \times \frac{S.D.}{\sqrt{n} }[/tex]

we have to find standard deviation from this ;

given n = 16 and [tex]t_{\frac{0.10}{2},15 }[/tex] = 1.7531

Substituting in the margin of error equation ,

we get ,

S.D. = (1.77 × 4)/1.7531

= 4.0386

So , the 95% confidence interval is given as [tex]x_{d}[/tex]  ± [tex]t_{\frac{0.10}{2},14 } \times \frac{S.D.}{\sqrt{n} }[/tex] .

from t table , [tex]t_{\frac{0.10}{2},14 }[/tex] = 2.1314

Substituting ,

we get ,

CI = (9.98 ± 2.1314×4.0386/√16)

= (9.98 ± 2.1519)

= ( 9.98 - 2.1519 , 9.98 + 2.1519)

= (7.83 , 12.13)

Therefore , the correct option is (a) (7.83 , 12.13)    .
