Let be - independent sampling from the normal distribution, where - known dispersion. Define arbitrary and build a confidence interval for the unknown mean .
Statement. Random value
has a standard normal distribution . Let be - -quantile standard normal distribution. Then, due to the symmetry of the latter, we have:
After substitution of the expression for and simple algebraic transformations we get:
Let be - independent sampling from the normal distribution, where - unknown constants. Construct a confidence interval for an unknown mean .
Statement. Random value
Where - unbiased sample standard deviation, has a Student’s distribution with degrees of freedom . Let be - quantile student distribution. Then, due to the symmetry of the latter, we have:
After substitution of the expression for and simple algebraic transformations we get:
