A researcher at a large university is interested in the GPAs of graduating students. The researcher gathers a sample of 30 graduating students. They find that the sample mean GPA is 2.82 with a sample standard deviation of 0.39. Construct the 95% confidence interval for the mean GPA for the entire population of graduating students at this university. What is alpha in this study?

At a university, a random sample of 14 students from the College of Education were selected and asked for their GPA's. Their GPA's are: 3.22, 2.95, 2.80, 3.30, 3.43, 3.03, 2.66, 2.87, 3.89, 3.17, 3.28, 2.70, 3.66, 3.28 Assume these GPA's are approximately normal. Find a 95% confidence interval for the population mean GPA of all students in the College of Education. Your answer consists of two values. Enter the larger value only. Round your answer to three decimal places. (e.g. If your interval was 1.229157 to 4.513280, you would enter 4.513) Your Answer: Answer

A random sample of 14 students from a large university yields mean GPA 2.70 with sample standard deviation 0.50. Assume that the numerical population of GPAs from which the samples is taken has a normal distribution. Construct a 90% confidence interval for the mean GPA of all students at the university.

A random sample of 40 students taken from a university showed that their mean GPA is 2.94 and the standard deviation of their GPAs is .30. Construct a 99% confidence interval for the mean GPA of all students at this university.
