- First find the mean and standard deviation. (Refer to video in week 2 discussion.)
- Then type this in an excel cell =confidence.norm(0.05,stdev,samplesize) and hit enter. This is the E value. (Note: please use your standard deviation and sample size and not the words.)
- Set up your confidence interval: (mean-E, mean+E)
The formula is E= zsubc * sigma / sqrt n
Where the left hand endpoint is xbar – E and the right hand endpoint is xbar + E
