Answer :

Using the z table, the critical value [tex]z_{a/2}[/tex] needed to construct a confidence interval with level 82% is 1.34.

In the given question,

We have to find the critical value [tex]z_{a/2}[/tex] needed to construct a confidence interval with level 82%.

The confidence interval is 82%.

We can write 82% as 82/100 and 0.82.

Now the value of

[tex]\alpha[/tex]=1−0.82

[tex]\alpha[/tex]=0.18

Now finding the value of [tex]\alpha[/tex]/2

[tex]\alpha[/tex]/2=0.18/2

[tex]\alpha[/tex]/2=0.09

Now finding the value of [tex]z_{a/2}[/tex].

[tex]z_{0.82}[/tex] = 1.34

Hence, the critical value [tex]z_{a/2}[/tex] needed to construct a confidence interval with level 82% is 1.34.
