    Length of a

    Confidence
    Interval
     Confidence interval function
    to estimate the value of
    population parameters.
     Researchers aim to
    produce the smallest interval
    possible.
    A. Using a sample with size 30,
    the mean salary of the
    teachers in SNHS is ₱10 000 to
    ₱40 000.
    B. Using a sample with size 60 the
    mean salary of the teachers is
    ₱35 000 to ₱38 000
    How to find the length
    of the confidence
    interval?
    It can be computed by
    subtracting the lower
    limit from the upper limit.
    Task: TRIAD
    Derive the formula for the length of the confidence interval
    using the following:
    𝜎 𝜎
    a. 𝑥ҧ − 𝑧𝛼 𝑛
    < 𝜇 < 𝑥ҧ + 𝑧𝛼
    𝑛

    b. 𝑝ො − 𝑧𝛼 < 𝑝 < 𝑝ො + 𝑧𝛼

    𝜎
    𝐿𝑒𝑛𝑔𝑡ℎ = 2𝑧𝛼

    Similarly,

    1. Find the length of a 95%
    confidence interval for the
    mean of the normal
    population with standard
    deviation of 3 when the
    sample size is 25.
    Solution: This is a case for z
    – interval because the
    variance of the population is
    given.
    𝑛 = 25, 𝜎 = 3
    Ans: 2.352
    1. 𝐶 = 95%, 𝑛 = 25, 𝜎 = 3
    𝐴𝑛𝑠: 𝐿𝑒𝑛𝑔𝑡ℎ = 2.352
    2. 𝐶 = 99%, 𝑛 = 25, 𝜎 = 3
    𝐴𝑛𝑠 ∶ 𝐿𝑒𝑛𝑔𝑡ℎ = 3.09
    3. 𝐶 = 95%, 𝑛 = 100, 𝜎 = 3
    𝐴𝑛𝑠: 𝐿𝑒𝑛𝑔𝑡ℎ = 1.176
    1.The larger the size of the
    sample, the narrower the
    confidence interval.
    2.The smaller the confidence
    level, the narrower the
    confidence interval.
    The best confidence
    interval as
    recommended is 95%
    with a large sample size.
    Answer the following:
    1. A random sample with size 16 is selected from a
    certain population with standard deviation of 2.5.
    Compute the length of a 90% confidence interval
    estimates the population mean.
    2. Find the length of the 90% confidence interval for
    the variance of the nicotine content of cigarettes
    when a sample of 30 cigarettes produced a
    standard deviation of 1.9 milligrams.
    3. Find the length of the confidence interval for the
    population proportion when 𝑛 = 12, 𝑝Ƹ = 0.34,
