Introduction to Confidence Intervals

Question 5 • CA-Statistics and Probability B

A clinic measured the systolic blood pressure for a random sample of 10 patients. The resulting 95% confidence interval for the mean systolic blood pressure of all the patients at this clinic was (111.3, 129.5). What was the mean systolic blood pressure from the sample of 10 patients?

Answer
A
18.2
B
111.3
C
120.4
D
129.5

Explanation

A confidence interval for a mean is centered on the sample mean. Find the midpoint of the interval: (111.3 + 129.5) ÷ 2 = 120.4. Therefore, the sample mean systolic blood pressure was 120.4, choice C.
