Question

Suppose that a random sample of

adults has a mean score of

on a standardized personality test, with a standard deviation of

. (A higher score indicates a more personable participant.) If we assume that scores on this test are normally distributed, find a

95%

confidence interval for the mean score of all takers of this test. Give the lower limit and upper limit of the

95%

confidence interval.

Carry your intermediate computations to at least three decimal places. Round your answers to one decimal place. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.)

Lower limit:
Upper limit:

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
