imagine that students at Abraham Page 47 STUDENT NAME DATE TAKE IT HOME 1 Imagine that students at Abraham Lincoln High School take an achievement test before they apply to colleges. A researcher who is interested in the students' college placement wishes to estimate the mean score of all students at the school who take the achievement test. The researcher selects a simple random sample of 15 students from the school. For this sample, -525 and s 24. Assume that the test scores are normally distributed. Construct a 99% confidence interval for , which is the population mean score for Abraham Lincoln High School. A Are the criteria for approximate normality satisfied? Explain. B Determine the sample mean, sample standard deviation, and sample size. C Determine the critical value that corresponds to the 99% confidence level. D Compute the margin of error (E) for a 99% confidence interval. E Construct a 99% confidence intervalExplanation / Answer
1.
Yes the normality criteria is satisfied as sample is taken from normally distributed population and sample size is greater than 5.
B.
sample size = 15
sample mean = 525
sample std. dev. = 24
C. Critical value is
z-value of 99% CI 2.5758
D.
SE = std.dev./sqrt(n) = 6.19677
Margin of error = ME = z*SE = 15.9618
E.
Lower Limit = Mean - ME 509.03817
Upper Limit = Mean + ME 540.96183
99% CI = (509.0382 , 540.9618 )
2.
Yes the normality criteria is satisfied as sample is taken from normally distributed population and sample size is greater than 5.
