Question

At Abraham Lincoln High School an achievement test is used for college placement. Counselors
selected a simple random sample of 15 students from the school and scored their tests by hand
before sending them in for computer processing. For this sample, ?̅ =525 and ?=24.
Assuming that the test scores are normally distributed, construct a 99% confidence interval for
μ, the population mean score for Abraham Lincoln High School.
d) Compute the margin of error, E.

e) Give the 99% confidence interval.

f) Interpret your confidence interval in context.

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
