问题 单项选择题

Which of the following characterizes the typical construction of a confidence interval correctly()

A. Point estimate ± (Standard error/Reliability factor).

B. Point estimate ± ( Reliability factor × Standard error).

C. ( Reliability factor × Standard error) ± Point estimate.

答案

参考答案:B

解析:

We can construct a confidence interval by adding and subtracting some amount from the point estimate. In general, confidence intervals have the following form. Point estimate + Reliability factor x Standard error Point estimate = the value of a sample statistic of the population parameter Reliability factor = a number that depends on the sampling distribution of the point estimate and the probability the point estimate falls in the confidence interval (1-α) Standard error = the standard error of the point estimate
