$27.9-2.60\frac{7.6}{\sqrt{199}}=26.499$

$27.9+2.60\frac{7.6}{\sqrt{199}}=29.301$

So on this case the 99% confidence interval would be given by (26.5;29.3)

$28.5-2.86\frac{3.5}{\sqrt{20}}=26.262$

$28.5+2.86\frac{3.5}{\sqrt{20}}=30.738$

So on this case the 99% confidence interval would be given by (26.3;30.7)

Are the results between the two confidence intervals very different?

D. No, because the confidence interval limits are similar.

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

Using the first info

$\bar X=27.9$ represent the sample mean

$\mu$ population mean (variable of interest)

s=7.6 represent the population standard deviation

n=199 represent the sample size

99% confidence interval

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

$\bar X \pm t_{\alpha/2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}$ (1)

Since the Confidence is 0.99 or 99%, the value of $\alpha=0.01$ and $\alpha/2 =0.005$ , and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value.

The degrees of freedom on this case are df=n-1= 199-1=198

The excel command would be: "=-T.INV(0.005,198)".And we see that $t_{\alpha/2}=2.60$

Now we have everything in order to replace into formula (1):

$27.9-2.60\frac{7.6}{\sqrt{199}}=26.499$

$27.9+2.60\frac{7.6}{\sqrt{199}}=29.301$

So on this case the 99% confidence interval would be given by (26.5;29.3)

Using the other info

The degrees of freedom on this case are df=n-1= 20-1=19

The excel command would be: "=-T.INV(0.005,19)".And we see that $t_{\alpha/2}=2.86$

$28.5-2.86\frac{3.5}{\sqrt{20}}=26.262$

$28.5+2.86\frac{3.5}{\sqrt{20}}=30.738$

So on this case the 99% confidence interval would be given by (26.3;30.7)

As we can see the two intervals are very similar since the upper and lower limits are similar so then the best answer would be:

Are the results between the two confidence intervals very different?

D. No, because the confidence interval limits are similar.
