Assume that the national credit card interest rate is 12.83 percent. A study of 62 college students finds that their average interest rate is 14 percent with a standard deviation of 9.3 percent. What is the 95 percent confidence interval for this single-sample t test?

a. [6.94, 11.66]
b. [11.64, 16.36]
c. [10.47, 15.19]
d. [12.99, 15.01]

Answer:

b)  95 percent confidence interval for this single-sample t test

[11.64, 16.36]

Step-by-step explanation:

Explanation:-

Given data  a study of 62 college students finds that their average interest rate is 14 percent with a standard deviation of 9.3 percent.

Sample size 'n' =62

sample mean x⁻ = 14  

sample standard deviation 'S' = 9.3

95 percent confidence interval for this single-sample t test

The values are [tex](x^{-} - t_{0.05} \frac{S}{\sqrt{n} } ,x^{-}+t_{0.05}\frac{S}{\sqrt{n} })[/tex]  the 95 percent confidence interval for the population mean  'μ'

Degrees of freedom γ=n-1=62-1=61

t₀.₀₅ = 1.9996 at 61 degrees of freedom

[tex](14 - 1.9996\frac{9.3}{\sqrt{62} } ,14+1.9996\frac{9.3}{\sqrt{62} })[/tex]

(14-2.361 , 14 + 2.361)

[(11.64 , 16.36]

Conclusion:-

95 percent confidence interval for this single-sample t test

[11.64, 16.36]
