Solution
This is a complex question that involves multiple parts. Let's break it down:
(a) To calculate the confidence intervals, we use the formula:
Confidence Interval = x̄ ± (Z*σ/√n)
where: x̄ is the sample mean, Z is the Z-score (critical value), σ is the standard deviation, and n is the sample size.
For the 75% confidence interval, the Z-score is 1.150. So, the confidence interval is:
CI = 93.9 ± (1.150 * 8 / √22)
For the 90% confidence interval, the Z-score is 1.645. So, the confidence interval is:
CI = 93.9 ± (1.645 * 8 / √22)
(b) The "Generate Samples" button is not available in this text-based format. However, the table provided gives the confidence intervals for 19 more samples.
(c) The statement "When constructing 90% confidence intervals for 20 samples of the same size from the population, it is possible that more or fewer than 90% of the samples will contain the population mean." is correct. The confidence level does not guarantee that a certain percentage of samples will contain the population mean. It only indicates the probability that a single confidence interval contains the population mean.
(d) The statements "The 90% confidence interval for Sample 8 does not indicate that 90% of the Sample 8 data values are between 93.0 and 98.6." and "The 75% confidence interval for Sample 8 is narrower than the 90% confidence interval for Sample 8. This must be the case, because when a confidence interval is constructed for a sample, the greater the level of confidence, the wider the confidence interval." are true. Confidence intervals do not indicate the range of data values in a sample. They provide an estimate of the range in which the population mean is likely to fall. Also, a higher confidence level results in a wider confidence interval.

Suppose we are interested in studying a population to estimate its mean. The population is normal and has a standard deviation of =σ23. We have taken a random sample of size =n95 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 =x140.9. Also shown are the lower and upper limits of the 80% confidence interval for the population mean using this sample, as well as the lower and upper limits of the 95% confidence interval. Suppose that the true mean of the population is =μ140, which is shown on the displays for the confidence intervals.Press the "Generate Samples" button to simulate taking 19 more random samples of size =n95 from this same population.

The center of the 80% confidence interval for Sample 1 is 140.9, because the center of a confidence interval for the population mean must be the sample mean. For each sample, the 80% confidence interval for the sample is included in the 95% confidence interval for the sample. Since Sample 19 and Sample 20 are drawn from the same population, the center of the 95% confidence interval for Sample 19 must be the same as the center of the 95% confidence interval for Sample 20. All of the 95% confidence intervals should be the same as each other. Since they are not all the same, there must have been errors due to rounding. None of the choices above are true.
