Finding a confidence interval given sample size, mean, and standard error

95 Views Asked by At

I am not the best with Statistics, and I was wondering if it is possible (and how, if it is) to find a 93% Confidence Interval given Sample Size (27), Mean (6.73), and Standard Error (1.732). Thank you!

You have to know (or assume) the distribution of the data in order to compute a confidence interval just using sample size, mean, and standard error. For example, you could assume a Gaussian distribution. If you have the full set of actual samples, and don't want to assume a distribution, then you can simply compute the 0.035 and 0.965 empirical quantiles in the sample and use that as your 93% confidence interval.
