Answer

Round the lower and upper limits to two decimal places. The final 95% confidence interval for μ is (7.67,7.93).

Steps

Step 1 :Given values are: confidence level c=0.95, sample mean x¯=7.8, standard deviation σ=0.5, and sample size n=55.

Step 2 :The z-score for a 95% confidence level is z=1.96.

Step 3 :Calculate the margin of error using the formula: margin_of_error=z×σn. Substituting the given values, we get margin_of_error=0.13214317304279546.

Step 4 :Calculate the confidence interval using the formula: lower_limit=x¯margin_of_error and upper_limit=x¯+margin_of_error. Substituting the given values, we get lower_limit=7.6678568269572045 and upper_limit=7.932143173042795.

Step 5 :Round the lower and upper limits to two decimal places. The final 95% confidence interval for μ is (7.67,7.93).
