Suppose the mean of a normally distributed population is 300,and 200 simple random samples are drawn from the population.At a 68% confidence level(one standard divination from the mean) about how many of the samples confidence intervals would you expect to contain population mean?

A)64
B)96
C)136
D)204

Respuesta :

samples confidence intervals needed is Option C 136.

How to estimate the number of sample confidence intervals?

According to the Empirical rule, if data exists normally distributed then about 68% of the population lies within one standard deviation from the mean.

We assume that the mean of a normally distributed population exists at 300, and 200 simple random samples exist drawn from the population.

Number of simple random samples, n= 200

By Empirical rule, approximately 68% of 200 samples’ confidence intervals we would expect to have the population mean.

Required number of samples = 68% of 200

= 0.68 x 200 = 136

The required number of samples = 136

Therefore, the correct answer is option C) 136.
