Question 1156445: A psychologist is interested in knowing whether adults who were bullied as children differ from the general population in terms of their empathy for others. On a questionnaire designed to measure empathy, the mean score for the general population is 39.61. Random sampling of 25 scores obtained from individuals who were bullied yielded a mean of 70.39 and a standard deviation of 9.88. (Use these numbers only for this question!)
Calculate the 99% confidence interval.
Steps:
As you know, two values will be required to complete the following equation:
_________ ≤ µ ≤ __________
For this question, what is the value that is below or less than µ? Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! half-interval is t 0.995 df=24*s/sqrt(n)
=2.797*9.88/5
=5.53
mean - 5.53 is 70.39-5.53=64.86 ANSWER
