Confidence Intervals

Can someone check my work to see if done this correctly. As you can see i made up 36 gas prices and my formula answers are in bold. I want to know if i done this correctly and i would love to learn your input on this. I followed the example it told me to do which is down below. Thank you for checking my confidence intervals.

$1.65 $1.78 $1.88 $1.89 $1.99 $2.00 $2.02 $2.04 $2.21 $2.22 $2.23 $2.27 $2.31 $2.34 $2.42 $2.43 $2.44 $2.50 $2.51 $2.52 $2.53 $2.55 $2.56 $2.57 $2.58 $2.71 $2.75 $2.85 $2.87 $2.89 $2.99 $3.02 $3.09 $3.12 $3.11 $2.24

I used Excel formulas:

Mean - AVERAGE(A2:A37) =2.45

Standard deviation - STDEV(A2:A37) = 0.393

Confidence Norm - CONFIDENCE.NORM(0.5,0.39,36) = 0.043

Confidence Interval - (2.05, 2.49)

Example below:

  • First find the mean. List all 36 gas prices in cells A1 to A36 in your excel spreadsheet.
  • On a different cell type in =average(A1:A36) and the hit enter to find the average
  • Assume your answer is 2.65
  • On a different cell type in =stdev.s(A1:A36) or =stdevA(A1:A36) and enter to find the standard deviation
  • Assume your answer is .43
  • Then put this in an excel cell =confidence.norm(.05,.43,36) and hit enter. This is the E value
  • So take the mean of 2.65 and you have (2.65-E, 2.65+E) for your confidence interval
