NOTE: For all calculations, assume a random sample and normal distribution, and use the formulas and
procedures given and discussed during the lecture.
ALL calculations MUST be shown (and manually performed) including the mean and standard deviation.
REQUIRED:
1. For the data given in Table 1 above (a random sample of N = 100), calculate and interpret the
95% confidence interval for the population mean (IQ score).
2. For the data given in Table 2 above (a random sample of N = 30), calculate and interpret the 95%
confidence interval for the population mean (IQ score).
3. Which of the two confidence intervals is more precise? Justify your response. (50-75 words)
4. Explain how the size of the sample influences the width of a confidence interval. (50-75 words)
