1. For each of the following, compute the correct degrees of freedom and
find the correct t* multiplier for constructing a confidence interval for a
population mean using Minitab Express. [24 points]
A. Confidence level 90%, n=10, df = _____, t* = ______
B. Confidence level 90%, n=90, df = _____, t* = ______
C. Confidence level 95%, n=10, df = _____, t* = ______
D. Confidence level 95%, n=90, df = _____, t* = ______
E. How does the t multiplier change when the confidence level is
increased (e.g., from 90% to 95%)?
F. How does the t multiplier change when the sample size is
increased (e.g., from n=10 to n=90)?
2.. What z* multiplier would you use to construct an 85% confidence
interval for a proportion? Include a probability distribution plot. [4 points]

3. Data were collected from a random sample of 270 adult females. Use
the values in the Minitab Express output below to construct a 95%
confidence interval for the mean female shoe size in the population. [7
