Show the work

  1. Standard error of the mean

    SE = s ÷ √n

    15 ÷ √25 = 3

  2. Critical t for 95% confidence (two-sided)

    t with 2.5% of the curve above it, 24 degrees of freedom (n − 1) = 2.063898562

  3. Margin of error

    E = critical value × SE

    2.063898562 × 3 = 6.191695685

  4. Interval

    x̄ − E to x̄ + E

    100 − 6.191695685 to 100 + 6.191695685 = 93.80830432 to 106.1916957

How it works

CI = x̄ ± critical value × s ÷ √n; critical value = t(1 − α/2, n − 1) for a sample SD, z(1 − α/2) when σ is known
