Answer:

99% confidence interval for the mean of college students

A) 112.48 < μ < 117.52

Step-by-step explanation:

step(i):-

Given sample size 'n' =150

mean of the sample = 115

Standard deviation of the sample = 10

99% confidence interval for the mean of college students are determined by

[tex](x^{-} -t_{0.01} \frac{S}{\sqrt{n} } , x^{-} + t_{0.01} \frac{S}{\sqrt{n} } )[/tex]

Step(ii):-

Degrees of freedom

ν = n-1 = 150-1 =149

t₁₄₉,₀.₀₁ =  2.8494

99% confidence interval for the mean of college students are determined by

[tex](115 -2.8494 \frac{10}{\sqrt{150} } , 115 + 2.8494\frac{10}{\sqrt{150} } )[/tex]

on calculation , we get

(115 - 2.326 , 115 +2.326 )

(112.67 , 117.326)
