Finding the Appropriate z Value for the Confidence Interval Formula (Using a Table)

  • I show how to find the appropriate z value (using the standard normal table) when calculating a confidence interval. The version of the table used in this video gives the area to the left of the z value (and not the area between 0 and z).
    For those that use R, below is the R code to find the values (see the video for illustrations).
    z value for a 95% interval:
    qnorm(.975)
    [1] 1.959964
    z value for a 75% interval:
    qnorm(.875)
    [1] 1.150349

      @jbstatistics  Před 8 lety +3

      I tried to do that for a while, but I developed a mental block where I could no longer say "just pay separate shipping and handling". My career went south from there, so I did the natural thing and turned to statistics.

    My table looks at values from 0 upto the required z-value but anyways your clear explanation helped a lot. When I was doing a problem (which also requires this part discussed in the video) for the second time, I totally forgot how to find the reliability factor and wasted a good few hours trying to figure out what needs to be done. I hope you make and keep making more videos related to statistics problems.
