Question
30.Suppose you want to know the average height of students in a school. You get the data of all the students from the database and measure the average of their heights using Excel. What is this an example of? A. Sample mean B. Population mean C. Standard error D. Confidence interval
Solution
This is an example of B. Population mean. The reason is that you are taking into account the heights of all the students in the school, not just a sample or subset of them. The population mean is the average of an entire group (in this case, the group is all the students in the school).

Suppose we are interested in studying a population to estimate its mean. The population is normal and has a standard deviation of =σ5. We have taken a random sample of size =n10 from the population. This is Sample 1 in the table below. (In the table, Sample 1 is written "S1", Sample 2 is written "S2", etc.) As shown in the table, the sample mean of Sample 1 is =x101.1. Also shown are the lower and upper limits of the 75% confidence interval for the population mean using this sample, as well as the lower and upper limits of the 90% confidence interval. Suppose that the true mean of the population is =μ100, which is shown on the displays for the confidence intervals.Press the "Generate Samples" button to simulate taking 19 more random samples of size =n10 from this same population. (The 75% and 90% confidence intervals for all of the samples are shown in the table and graphed.) Then complete parts (a) through (c) below the table.x 75%lowerlimit 75%upperlimit 90%lowerlimit 90%upperlimitS1 101.1 99.3 102.9 98.5 103.7S2 Generate SamplesS3S4S5S6S7S8S9S10S11S12S13S14S15S16S17S18S19S2075% confidence intervals94.0106.090% confidence intervals94.0106.0(a)How many of the 75% confidence intervals constructed from the 20 samples contain the population mean, =μ100? (b)How many of the 90% confidence intervals constructed from the 20 samples contain the population mean, =μ100? (c)Choose ALL that are true. For each sample, the 75% confidence interval for the sample is included in the 90% confidence interval for the sample. It is not surprising that some 75% confidence intervals are different from other 75% confidence intervals. Each confidence interval depends on its sample, and different samples may give different confidence intervals. The sample means for Sample 19 and Sample 20 are different, so the center of the 90% confidence interval for Sample 19 is different from the center of the 90% confidence interval for Sample 20. We would expect to find more 75% confidence intervals that contain the population mean than 90% confidence intervals that contain the population mean. Given a sample, a higher confidence level results in a narrower interval. None of the choices above are true.
