Mathematics: Arandom sample of 125 students is chosen from a population of 4,000 students. if the mean iq in the sample is 100 with a standard deviation of 8, what is the 98% confidence interval for the students mean iq score?

It would be between hundreds place and the tens place...

98.33 - 101.67

Step-by-step explanation:

The given Sample mean n= 100

Standard deviation $\sigma=8$

Mean IQ in the sample $\bar{x}=125$

Standard error of mean = $\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{\bar{x}}}$

Standard error of mean = $\frac{8}{\sqrt{125}}$

Thus, standard error = $\frac{8}{11.180}$

Standard error of mean (SE)= 0.7155

We know that z - score for 98% confidence interval is 2.33 .

Now, 98% confidence interval will be

n-z(SE) and n+z(SE)

$=100-(0.7155)(2.33)\ and\ 100+(0.7155)(2.33)$

$=100-1.66726\ and\ 100+1.66726$

$=98.33274\ and\ 101.667$

Hence, the 98% confidence interval for the students' mean IQ score will be 98.33 - 101.67
