A survey of the age of people denied promotion was conducted. In a random sample of 23 people the average age was 47.0 with a sample standard deviation of 7.2 Assume this sample comes from a population that is normally distributed. a. Calculate the EBM then construct a 95% confidence interval for the average of the age of people denied (round the values of the interval to 1 decimal place). b. If a manager claimed that the average age of people denied promotion was 51, would you agree or disagree based on your confidence interval? Explain your reasoning.

(a) 95% confidence interval for the average of the age of people denied is [43.9 , 50.1].

(b) Based on our confidence interval, we would disagree with the manager's claim.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a survey of the age of people denied promotion was conducted. In a random sample of 23 people the average age was 47.0 with a sample standard deviation of 7.2.

Assume this sample comes from a population that is normally distributed.

Firstly, the Pivotal quantity for 95% confidence interval for the population mean is given by;

P.Q. = $\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }$ ~ t_n_-_1

where, $\bar X$ = sample average age = 47.0

$\sigma$ = sample standard deviation = 7.2

n = sample of people = 23

$\mu$ = true average of the age of people denied

Here for constructing 95% confidence interval we have used One-sample t test statistics as we don't know about population standard deviation.

So, 95% confidence interval for the population mean, $\mu$ is ;

P(-2.074 < t_1_0_0 < 2.074) = 0.95 {As the critical value of t at 22 degree

of freedom are -2.074 & 2.074 with P = 2.5%}

P(-2.074 < $\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }$ < 2.074) = 0.95

P( $-2.074 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }$ < ${\bar X-\mu}$ < $2.074 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }$ ) = 0.95

P( $\bar X-2.074 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }$ < $\mu$ < $\bar X+2.074 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }$ ) = 0.95

(a) 95% confidence interval for $\mu$ = [ $\bar X-2.074 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }$ , $\bar X+2.074 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }$ ]

= [ $47-2.074 \times {\frac{7.2}{\sqrt{23} } }$ , $47+2.074 \times {\frac{7.2}{\sqrt{23} } }$ ]

= [43.9 , 50.1]

Therefore, 95% confidence interval for the average of the age of people denied is [43.9 , 50.1].

(b) Based on our confidence interval, we would disagree with the manager's claim that the average age of people denied promotion was 51 because the interval doesn't contain the value 51.
