The average jump increased by 1.28 inches with the new sneakers with a standard deviation of 1.02 inches. What is the margin of error of the 95% confidence interval for the average jump increase?

Here's the Solution to this Question

Let \mu_1 = avg. jump with new sneakers

\mu_2 = avg jump with own sneakers


H_0 : \mu_1 - \mu_2 =0 vs H_1 : \mu_1 - \mu_2 >0


The margin of error is given by,


Z_{ \alpha } ({\sigma \over \sqrt {n}})=1.64({1.02 \over \sqrt {41}})=0.26125

Therefore, the margin of error will be 0.26125
