Question 90 • Algebra II

Suppose the mean of a normally distributed population is 300 , and 200 simple random samples are drawn from the population. At a 68 percent confidence level, (one standard deviation from the mean), about how many of the samples’ confidence intervals would you expect to contain the population mean?

Answer
A
136
B
64
C
96
D
204

Explanation

A 68% confidence level means about 68% of the confidence intervals are expected to contain the population mean. Calculate 0.68 × 200 = 136, so about 136 intervals would contain the mean. The correct choice is 136.
