(two years), which we think should be enough to reach the steady-state. When we run the model with these settings, we get that the mean of the main response variable - average cost - is 568.4 and the half width is equal to 2.37. Although the confidence interval is not extremely wide taking into account the relatively high value of mean, we still perform a check whether it is possible to get more precise results by using common random numbers. To figure out if the model would benefit from the use of

found to be 0.2. Give an interval based on your data so that you are 95% confident that the true value of the unknown proportion lies inside it. How would you explain 95% confidence to a layman? Suppose a professor of IIMA thinks that true proportion is 0.3. Are you ready to accept the professor’s perception based on your data at 99% confidence level? Solution – 1 Sample Size n = 100 (male smokers) p = 0.2 Sd (P) = √(pq / n) = .04 95% confidence interval of p = 0.2 ± 2 x 0
