Objectives
• What’s the difference between a 95% Confidence Interval and a 99% Confidence Interval for estimating a population mean?
• How does sample size influence both the 95% and 99% Confidence Interval for estimating a population mean?

Context
• With rising diesel fuel prices, how does a trucking company make a profit?
• Realistic estimates of the price of diesel fuel could be critically important

Population and Random Sampling
• Database of diesel fuel prices at 167 Flying J truck stops across the continental U.S.
• SPSS – Statistical Package for the Social Sciences
• Use SPSS to create 95% and 99% Confidence Intervals for various sample sizes (n = 10, n = 20, n = 50)
• Demonstrate rossman.chance.com Applet for Confidence Intervals

Assessment
• Is a 95% confidence interval larger or smaller than a 99% confidence interval?
• As you increase sample size, both the 95% and the 99% confidence intervals become __________.
