1) A random sample of size 15 taken from a normally distributed population revealed a sample mean of 75 and a sample variance of 25. The upper limit of a 95% confidence interval for the population mean would equal?

2. Based on sample data the 90% confidence interval limits forth population mean are 170.86 and 195.42. If the 10% level of significance was used in testing the hypthesis H1o:u=201, H1" u = 201 the null hypothesis:

would be rejected
would not be rejected

    When one rejects the null hypothesis in a two-tailed hypothesis test, the confidence interval does not contain the parameter of interest. When the null hypothesis is not rejected, the confidence interval contains the parameter.
