Sunday evening I ran 14 laps of the track with a mean lap time of 2.59 minutes and standard deviation of 8.00 seconds. Construct a 95% confidence interval using a student's t-distribution for my population mean lap time.

Find a tc value from a confidence level c and sample size n | tc | =TINV(1-c,n-1) | |
Calculate an error tolerance E of a mean for any n ≥ 5 using sx. | E | =tc*sx/SQRT(n) | |
Calculate a confidence interval for a population mean µ from a sample mean x and an error tolerance E | x-E≤ µ ≤x+E | ||

Degrees of freedom | df | = n-1 | =COUNT(data)-1 |
Calculate a t-statistic (t) | t | (x - µ)/(sx/sqrt(n)) | |
Calculate t-critical for a two-tailed test | tc | =TINV(α,df) | |
Calculate a p-value from a t-statistic t | p | = TDIST(ABS(t),df,#tails) |
