Question 16

Multiple Choice

Construct a 95% Z-interval or a 95% t-interval about the population mean. Assume the data come from a population that
is approximately normal with no outliers.
-The heights of 20 - to 29 -year-old females are known to have a population standard deviation σ=2.7\sigma = 2.7 inches. A simple random sample of n=15n = 15 females 20 to 29 years old results in the following data:
63.167.964.862.265.463.366.268.269.764.168.469.967.364.570.2\begin{array}{lllll}63.1 & 67.9 & 64.8 & 62.2 & 65.4 \\\hline 63.3 & 66.2 & 68.2 & 69.7 & 64.1 \\\hline 68.4 & 69.9 & 67.3 & 64.5 & 70.2\end{array}


A) (64.98,67.72) ( 64.98,67.72 ) ; we are 95%95 \% confident that the mean height of 20 - to 29 -year-old females is between 64.9864.98 and 67.7267.72 inches.
B) (64.85,67.85) ( 64.85,67.85 ) ; we are 95%95 \% confident that the mean height of 20 - to 29 -year-old females is between 64.8564.85 and 67.8567.85 inches.
C) (65.12,67.58) ( 65.12,67.58 ) ; we are 95%95 \% confident that the mean height of 20 - to 29 -year-old females is between 65.1265.12 and 67.5867.58 inches.
D) (65.20,67.50) ( 65.20,67.50 ) ; we are 95%95 \% confident that the mean height of 20 - to 29 -year-old females is between 65.2065.20 and 67.5067.50 inches.
