The 90% confidence interval for the mean score of all such subjects is between 39.7 and 112.7
Step-by-step explanation:
We have the standard deviation of the sample, so we use the t-distribution to build the confidence interval.
The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So
df = 27 - 1 = 26
90% confidence interval
Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 26 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of
). So we have T = 1.7056
The margin of error is:
M = T*s = 1.7056*21.4 = 36.50.
In which s is the standard deviation of the sample.
The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 76.2 - 36.5 = 39.7
The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 76.2 + 36.5 = 112.7
The 90% confidence interval for the mean score of all such subjects is between 39.7 and 112.7
