Is a 95 percent confidence interval for a mean wider than a 99 percent confidence interval?
No, it is not. A 99% confidence interval would be wider. Best regards, NS
Does the population mean have to fall within the confidence interval?
No. For instance, when you calculate a 95% confidence interval for a parameter this should be taken to mean that, if you were to repeat the entire procedure of sampling from the population and calculating the confidence interval many times then the collection of confidence intervals would include the given parameter 95% of the time. And sometimes the confidence intervals would not include the given parameter.
What is confidence intervals in statistics?
The Confidence Interval is a particular type of measurement that estimates a population's parameter. Usually, a confidence interval correlates with a percentage. The certain percentage represents how many of the same type of sample will include the true mean. Therefore, we would be a certain percent confident that the interval contains the true mean.
When comparing the 95 percent confidence and prediction intervals for a given regression analysis what is the relation between confidence and prediction interval?
Confidence interval considers the entire data series to fix the band width with mean and standard deviation considers the present data where as prediction interval is for independent value and for future values.
When determining the 95 percent confidence interval for a population mean with known sigma the value of the critical value of z is equal to?
