a sample of 60 information system managers had an average hourly income of $45.80 with a standard deviation of $7.00. what is the lower limit for the 95% confidence interval estimate for the average hourly wage of all information system managers? round your answer to two decimal places.



Answer :

The lower limit for the 95%confidence interval for the given mean and standard deviation is equal to 39.03.

As given in the question,

Sample size 'n' = 60

Mean 'μ' = $40.80

Standard deviation 'σ' = $7.00

Using z-score table of normal distribution

z-value for 95%confidence interval = 1.96

Formula used

Confidence interval

= μ ± ( z-value × σ ) /√n

= 40.80 ±  (1.96 × 7)/√60

= 40.80 ± (13.72 /7.75)

= 40.80 ±1.770

Lower limit of the confidence interval is equal to :

40.80 - 1.770 = 39.03

Upper limit of the confidence interval is equal to :

40.80 + 1.770 = 42.57

Therefore, the lower limit for the 95% confidence interval is equal to 39.03.
