Suppose that a travel bureau claims that the trees in a forest are 84 ft tall on average with a standard deviation of 2 feet. If you took a sample of 64 trees, which of the following mean heights would be outside the 95% confidence interval?
A. 84.6 ft
B. 84.2 ft
C. 84.4 ft
D. 83.6 ft

Respuesta :

The value of the mean height for the given data will be 84.6 ft. Option A is correct.

What is the standard deviation?

It is a measurement of statistical data dispersion. The degree to which the value varies is known as dispersion.

Given data;

Mean,[tex]\rm\bar x = 84[/tex]

Standard deviation,[tex]\sigma= 2[/tex]

No of sample,n=64

The mean height is foundd as;

[tex]\rightarrow \bar x \pm \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt n} \times Z \\\\ \rightarrow \84 \pm\frac{2}{8} \times 1.96 \\\\ \rightarrow 83.51,84.49[/tex]

84.6>84.49

The value of the mean height for the given data will be 84.6 ft.

Hence option A is correct.
