The lengths of text messages are normally distributed with a population standard deviation of 3 characters and an unknown population mean. If a random sample of 24 text messages i taken and results in a sample mean of 27 characters, find a 99% confidence interval for the population mean.

Answer:

25.4, 28.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters

sample size, n = 24

sample mean, X = 27

population standard deviation, s = 3

critical value, Zα/2, where α = 0.01

99% confidence Interval, CI, is given as follows

CI = X ± Zα/2 × (s/√n)

Zα/2 = Z0.01/2 = Z0.005 = 2.576

CI = 27 ± 2.576 × (3/√24)

   = (25.42 ,28.57)
