1. Which of the following examples would use the z-distribution: x=100;?=99;s=5;n=70x=7;?=4;s=1;n=20?x=50;?=53;?=7;n=15x=15;?=17;?=3;n=45? 2. Know how to calculate point est., confidence interval, max tolerable error. Know the effect when you change the confidence level and the sample size. A high school surveyed their graduates on their starting salaries. 300 were returned. The average starting salary of the surveys returned was $32,000 with a standard deviation of $5,000. A. What is the point estimate for the starting salary of the graduates? Hint: One number! B. What is the 95% confidence interval for the average salary of all graduates? Hint: Range C. What is the value of the Maximum Tolerable Error for the above confidence interval?? Hint: This is the number that follows +/- in the confidence interval formula. You add it to and subrtact it from the mean! D. If the level of confidence changes to 99%, and all other variables remain unchanged, what will happen to the confidence interval??? E. If the number of graduates returning the survey changes from 300 to 700 , all other variables remaining unchanged, what will be effected??? (Probability of error? Point estimate? Confidence Interval?) Hint: Only one changes! 3. Know how to calculate sample size: A restaurant would like to estimate the average $ amount of a take-out order. The standard deviation is $15. If a 99% confidence level and an interval (error) of $5 is desired, how many customers should be in the sample? Hint: The formula is on the formla sheet in the "Useful Resources" Module. " n="
