Question

A study by the department of education of a certain state was trying to determine the

mean SAT scores of the graduating high school seniors. The study found that the
mean SAT score was 447 with a margin of error of 21. Write a confidence interval for
the true mean SAT score of the graduating high school seniors.

Answer 1

(426 ; 468)

Explanation:

Confidence interval :

Mean score ± margin of error

Margin of Error = 21

Mean SAT score = 447

Hence,

447 ± 21

Lower boundary = 447 - 21 = 426

Upper boundary = 447 + 21 = 468

(426 ; 468)
