The personnel department of a large corporation wants to estimate the family dental expenses of its employees to determine the feasibility of providing a dental insurance plan. a random sample of 12 employees reveals the following family dental expenses (in dollars): 115 370 250 593 540 225 117 425 318 182 275 228 construct a 95% confidence interval for the average family dental expenses for all employees in this corporation. place your lower limit, in dollars rounded to 1 decimal place, in the first blank. do not use a dollar sign, a comma, or any other stray mark. for example, 123.4 would be a legitimate entry. place your upper limit, in dollars rounded to 1 decimal place, in the second blank. do not use a dollar sign, a comma, or any other stray mark. for example, 567.8 would be a legitimate entry.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

So you need to construct a confidence interval for the average family dental expenses (μ) using the sample given in the problem. To estimate it you need to first choose a statistic. For this small sample, considering that the variable has a normal distribution (I made a quick Shapiro Wilks test, with p-value 0.3234, you can assume normality) the best statistic to use is the Student's t-test.

t= [x(bar)-μ]/S/√n ≈ t₍ₙ₋₁₎

The formula for the confidence interval to estimate the mean is

x(bar)±* (S/√n)

The critical value is from a t-distribution with 11 degrees of freedom

±

>remember since it's two-tailed, to get the right critical value you have to divide α by 2. So in the text, you received a confidence level of 1-α=0.95 so α=0.05 then α/2=0.025 and 1-α/2=0.975

To construct the interval, you need to first calculate the sample mean and the standard derivation.

Sample

115; 370; 250; 593; 540; 225; 117; 425; 318; 182; 275; 228

n= 12

∑xi = 3638 ∑xi² = 1362670

Sample mean

x(bar): (∑xi)/n = 3638/12 = 303.17 dolars

Standard derivation

S²= 1/n-1*[∑xi²- (∑xi)²/n] = 1/11 * [1362670-((3638)²/12)] = 23614.47 dolars²

S= 153.67 dolars

Confidence interval (95%)

303.17± 2.201* (153.67/√12)
