Noise levels at 5 airports were measured in decibels yielding the following data:
152,154,139,124,120
1. Construct the 80% confidence interval for the mean noise level at such locations. Assume the population is approximately normal.
2. Calculate the sample mean for the given sample data. Round your answer to one decimal place.

Respuesta :

The confidence interval for the mean noise at locations is (127.09,148.51).

Given noise levels at 5 airports=152,154,139,124,120

We have to find the confidence interval for the mean noise and sample mean of the data. We know that mean is the sum divided by the number of items taken.

Mean = sum of X values/n

=137.8 (calculated in figure)

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

=[tex]\sqrt{972.8/4}[/tex]

=[tex]\sqrt{243.2}[/tex]

=15.59

t value at 80% confidence level with degree of freedom 4  (5-1) is 1.533.

standard error=t value*s/[tex]\sqrt{n}[/tex]

=1.533*15.59/[tex]\sqrt{5}[/tex]

=10.71

Upper level= Mean + standard error

=137.8+10.71

=148.51

Lower level=Mean - standard error

=137.8-10.71

=127.09

Hence the confidence interval for the true mean noise is (127.09,148.51) and sample mean is 137.8.
