Martin can reasonably guess that the standard deviation for the entire population of people at the mall during the time of the survey is $1.50. what is the 95% confidence interval about the sample mean? interpret what this means in the context of the situation where 95 people were surveyed and the sample mean is $8. use the information in this resource to construct the confidence interval.

We are given the following data in the above statement:

Sample mean = u = 8

Population standard deviation = x = 1.50

Sample size = n = 95

Confidence Interval = 95%

Since we know the population standard deviation we can use z distribution to find the confidence interval. The z value for the 95% confidence interval is:

z = 1.96

The formula for the confidence interval about the mean is:

Using the values, we get the confidence interval:

We are 95% confident that the true value of the population mean is in between 7.70 and 8.30 .
