You collect a small sample of 20 fund returns, which turns out to have a sample mean of 7 % and a sample standard deviation of 6 %. Assuming fund returns are normally distributed, what is the lower bound of the 95% confidence interval for fund returns?
The answer should be 4.19. You can use Excel to solve, just show the formulas that were used.

You want to construct a 95% confidence interval for the performance of a large population of mutual funds. Assume returns are independent across funds, and the standard deviation of fund returns is 8.1 %. If you want the width of your interval to be 2.4 %, what sample size must you collect? Assume sample is large enough that the sample mean is normally distributed. Enter answer as the smallest integer sample that will accomplish your objective. I need it to...

You want to construct a 95% confidence interval for the performance of a large population of mutual funds. Assume returns are independent across funds, and the standard deviation of fund returns is 9.8 %. If you want the width of your interval to be 2.3 %, what sample size must you collect? Assume sample is large enough that the sample mean is normally distributed. Enter answer as the smallest integer sample that will accomplish your objective. The answer is 279.
