Confidence Level
- expressed as percent, it sets a portion of the
sample to be included within a known range of
the true population. It also quantifies the
probability in which, a member of the sample
would fall within a known interval of the true
population. If α (alpha) is the allowable
sampling error, the confidence level is equal to
1-α.
Illustrative example:
Mr. Martinez' company sells bottled coconut juice. He
claims that a bottle contains 500 ml of such juice. A
consumer group wanted to know if his claim is true.

They took six random samples of 10 such bottles and

2. Given:
Sample Size 1 = 50
Sample Size 2 = 40
Sample Mean 1 = 3550
EXAMPLE:
Sample Mean 2 = 3500
1. Given:
Sample Standard deviation 1 = 130
Sample Size = 300
Sample Standard deviation 2 = 120
Sample Mean = 170
Confidence interval gives 90%
Sample Standard deviation = 25
Confidence interval gives 95%
α = 5% or 0.05
Note:
If the confidence interval ranges from negative to
positive there is no significant difference, but if hindi
like same siyang negative or positive then there is a
significant difference
