- The mean score on the math portion of the ACT for the year 2000 is μ = 20.7. A sample of 20 students in a local school district had a mean of 22.95. Using the sample, a 95% confidence interval estimate for the mean is (20.76, 25.14). State the point estimate for the mean ACT score for students. Based on this sample information , do you believe that the local students have a mean different from the general population? Why? 22.95 is in the center of the interval. The means are definitely not different. 22.95 is just outside the 95% confidence interval. Can't say the means are really different. 22.95 is not equal to 20.7. The means are definitely different. 20.7 is just outside the 95% confidence interval. Can't say the means are really different.arrow_forwardIf x=76 ₁² = 14 and n=65, Construct a 95% Confidence interval estimate of the population mean, pe الكيكarrow_forwardApply the t-interval procedure to find a 95% confidence interval for the mean arterial blood pressure of 8 children sampled if x=85.99 mm Hg and s=8.08 mm Hgarrow_forward
