Monica Martell Math 1040 Term Project Part 4 In this portion of the project I had to create confidence intervals

for the samples that I had used StatCrunch to generate earlier in this project. StatCrunch is a user friendly program that makes it very easy to calculate the information for a confidence interval. Confidence intervals are significant because they can estimate the actual population parameter given any sample size. This is significant because with the information provided they can determine whether the sample size precisely represents the population of the data. The first two confidence intervals that I created were for categorical data. By using the p-value method I determined that the first sample from this pair captures the population parameter. The second confidence interval does not. Here are those results. 95% confidence interval results: : Mean of variable Standard deviation not specified. Variable n Sample Mean Std. Err. L. Limit U. Limit Sample(Smoke 0=N, 1=Y) 30 0.033333333 0.033333333 -0.031998799 0.098665466

The second set of confidence intervals created was for categorical data. Once again by using the p-value method I was able to determine that neither of the following confidence intervals captures the population parameter. Here are those are those results. 95% confidence interval results: : Mean of variable Variable Simple Random Sample Expiratory Sample Mean Std. Err. DF L. Limit U.
