Thirty randomly selected students took the calculus final. If the sample mean was 89 and the standard deviation was 6.2, construct a 99% confidence interval of the mean score of all students. Assume that the population has a normal distribution.

what formula do i use????

1 answer

Find table in the back of your statistics text labeled something like "areas under normal distribution" to find the proportion/probability (.005) and its Z score.

99% = mean ± Z SEm

SEm = SD/√n
