Construct and interpret confidence intervals for the population mean: a random sample of 40 students has a test score with x=8.15 and s=10.2.construct the confidence interval for the population mean, u if c=0.90
Sample mean = 8.15
ME = z*s/sqrt(n)
ME = 1.645*10.2/sqrt(40) = 2.653
------------------
90% CI:: 8.15-2.653 < u < 8.15+2.653
90% CI:: 5.497 < u < 10.803
