Noise levels at 5 volcanoes were measured in decibels yielding the following data: 108,133,140,129,136 1. Construct the 98% confidence interval for the mean noise level at such locations. Assume the population is approximately normal.
2. Calculate the sample standard deviation for the given sample data. 3. Find the critical value that should be used in constructing the confidence interval.

Respuesta :

The confidence interval or the mean noise level is (108.17,150.23) and sample standard deviation is 12.52.

Given noise levels:108,133,140,129,136. and confidence level 98%.

We have to find the confidence level and the sample standard deviation of the given data.

Confidence level=98%.

n=5

Sample standard deviation=[tex]\sqrt{(x-x bar)^{2} /n-1}[/tex]

=[tex]\sqrt{626.8/4}[/tex]

=[tex]\sqrt{156.7}[/tex]

=12.52

critical t value at 98% confidence level with degree of freedom(5-1) is 3.747

Standard error= critical t*s/[tex]\sqrt{n}[/tex]

Standard error is the difference between the real values and calculated values.

=3.747*12.52/[tex]\sqrt{5}[/tex]

=46.91/2.23

=21.03

Upper confidence interval=Mean +standard error

=129.2+21.03

=150.23

Lower confidence interval=Mean - standard error

=129.2-21.03

=108.17

Hence the confidence interval is (108.17,150.23) ,sample standard deviation is 12.52 and critical t value is 3.747.
