Steps to Complete the Week 7 Lab
Step 1: The following articles are from the Chamberlain Library. Once you click each link, you will be logged into the Library and can click on “PDF Full Text”.
First Article: Confidence Intervals, Part 1 (attached).
Second Article: Confidence Intervals, Part 2 (attached)
Step 2: Consider the use of confidence intervals in health sciences with these articles as inspiration and insights as you complete this lab.
Step 3: Using the data you collected for the Week 5 Lab (attached) (heights of 10 different people that you work with plus the 10 heights provided by your instructor), discuss your method of collection for the values that you are using in your study (systematic, convenience, cluster, stratified, simple random). What are some faults with this type of data collection? What other types of data collection could you have used, and how might this have affected your study?
Step 4: Now use the Week 6 Spreadsheet (attached) to help you with calculations for the following questions/statements.
a) Give a point estimate (mean) for the average height of all people in the place you gathered your data. Start by putting the 20 heights you are working with into the blue Data column of the spreadsheet. What is your point estimate, and what does this mean?
b) Find a 95% confidence interval for the true mean height of all the people (using all 20 data values) where you got your 10 heights. Post a screenshot of your work from the t value Confidence Interval for µ from the Confidence Interval tab on the Week 6 Excel spreadsheet. What is the interval?
c) Give a practical interpretation of the interval you found in part b and explain carefully what the output means. (For example, you might say, “I am 95% confident that the true mean height of all of the people in my company is between 64 inches and 68 inches”).
Step 5: Now, change your confidence level to 99% for the same data, and post a screenshot of this table, as well.
Step 6: Compare the margins of error from the two screenshots. Would the margin of error be larger or smaller for the 99% CI? Explain your reasoning.
Step 7: Save the Week 7 Lab document with your answers and include your name in the title.
Step 8: Submit the document.
The deliverable is a Word document with your answers to the questions posed below based on the article you find.
