A simple random sample of 120 SAT scores has a mean of 1500. Assume that scores have a standard deviation of 175.construct a 99% confidence interval estimate of the mean SAT score.
-----
u = 1500
std = 175
------
sample mean = 1500
ME = 2.5758*175 = 450.77
-----------------
99% CI:: 1500-450.77 < u < 1500+450.77
99% CI:: 149.23 < u < 1950.77
