A sample of 50 elements from a population with a standard deviation of 20 is selected. The sample mean is 150. The 90% confidence interval for is: a.165.0 to 185.0. b.146.4 to 153.6. c.145.3 to 154.7. d.171.8 to 188.2.

c.145.3 to 154.7.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find our level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

Now, we have to find z in the Z-table as such z has a p-value of .

That is z with a p-value of , so Z = 1.645.

Now, find the margin of error M as such

In which is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 150 - 4.7 = 145.3.

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 150 + 4.7 = 154.7.

Thus the correct answer is given by option c.
