sd/sqrt(n) sounds familiar

3. amistre64 Group Title

$z=\frac{x-mean}{sd/\sqrt{n}}$

4. amistre64 Group Title

where z is the value at Za = .02 maybe?

|dw:1327284026014:dw|

6. amistre64 Group Title

i know im missing something :/

7. amistre64 Group Title

we want the interval of Lx to Rx right?

8. amistre64 Group Title

z = 2.06 if i see the table right

9. amistre64 Group Title

$z=\frac{x-mean}{sd/\sqrt{n}}$ $z(sd/\sqrt{n})={x-mean}$ $z(sd/\sqrt{n})+mean={x}$ $2.06(7.2/\sqrt{36})+23.4={x}\text{ to the right}$ $-2.06(7.2/\sqrt{36})+23.4={x}\text{ to the left}$
