Geeral Remember: three value are ued to cotruct all cofidece iterval: Samle tatitic Z or t Stadard error of amle tatitic Deciio ad Parameter to idetify: Whether differece are betwee mea or betwee roortio Whether amle are ideedet or ot For each ideedet amle, the mea ad tadard deviatio, or the roortio Whether the give tadard deviatio (or variace) are from oulatio or amle The level of cofidece required For t core, the ize of each amle ad hece degree of freedom:
IDENTIFY the amle tatitic For two amle cofidece iterval, thi i either mea differece, x : calculate the differece d betwee the air of data, ad roce thee differece a oe amle OR differece betwee mea, x x : calculate the mea of the two amle ad calculate the differece betwee thee two mea OR differece betwee roortio, calculate the differece betwee the two roortio SELECT the relevat Z or t core The value of t deed o the level of cofidece ad the amle ize. : It i ued whe the tadard deviatio i from a amle ie i ukow The value of Z deed o the level of cofidece oly. Ue it o whe the tadard deviatio i from a oulatio ie i kow, or o for roortio 3
CALCULATE the tadard error You will fid thee formulae o your formula heet. For differece betwee MEANS d e(mea differece), e x : d From the roceed differece, ue the.d of the differece divided by the quare root of the amle ize e(differece betwee mea), oulatio d kow: e x x e(differece betwee mea), oulatio d NOT kow (amle d kow): e x x where ooled var iace. Thi mut be calculated firt, the ued to calculate the tadard error. For differece betwee PROPORTIONS e(differece betwee roortio), for INDEPENDENT amle: e or x x e where e(differece betwee roortio), for NON INDEPENDENT amle: e 4
Examle Two deedet amle, reult aired A Iurace Comay obtaied etimate of the cot of car reair at a certai garage. The iurace comay radomly elected five car eedig reair ad obtaied the actual cot of the fiihed reair. The data are below: Car 3 4 5 Etimate ($) 80 000 65 30 00 Actual ($) 65 054 68 36 34 From thee aired reult, the differece for each air i obtaied ad roceed: Differece 5-54 -3-4 -34 Thi i ow treated a a igle amle, with x -3.6 8.66. 8.66 95% Cofidece iterval ow = -3.6.7764 = [$-59.8, -$.98] 5 (No cocluio, ice iterval cotai zero.) Two ideedet amle, with oulatio read give or kow That i, amle mea ad oulatio tadard deviatio or variace are kow. Weekly exediture of tudet of two Uiveritie are tudied. Variace of the two oulatio are 90. ad 97.7, reectively. From oulatio, a amle of 5 tudet i elected with amle mea beig $04.0. From oulatio, a amle of 0 tudet i elected ad the mea i $84.60. What i the 95% Cofidece Iterval for the differece betwee the two oulatio mea? Idetify: x 04. 0, x 84. 60, 90., 97. 7, 5, 0 C.I.(differece betwee mea)= x x Z 90. 5 97.7 0 04.0 84.60.96 $.8, $ 7.39,ice i kow.

There i o eed therefore to quare 90. ad 97.7 i the.e. formula. Two ideedet amle, with amle read give or kow That i, amle mea ad amle tadard deviatio or variace are kow. 0 male tudet were radomly amled to determie the mea umber of hour er week male ed watchig televiio. The mea for thi amle wa 5.3 hour ad the tadard deviatio 4. hour. A imilar urvey of 5 female roduced a mea of. hour ad a tadard deviatio of 3.0 hour. Calculate the 90% cofidece iterval for the differece i hour et watchig televiio betwee the male ad female grou. Iterret thi cofidece iterval. Idetify: x 5. 3, x., 4., 3. 0, 0, 5 5
