Listed in the accompanying data table are student evaluation ratings of courses and professors, where a rating of 5 is for "excellent." Assume that each sample is a simple random sample obtained from a population with a normal distribution. a. Use the 93 course evaluations to construct a 98% confidence interval estimate of the standard deviation of the population from which the sample was obtained. b. Repeat part (a) using the 93 professor evaluations. c. Compare the results from part (a) and part (b). Click the icon to view the data table. a. < ? < (Round to two decimal places as needed.)

Listed below are student evaluation ratings of courses, where a rating of 5 is for "excellent." The ratings were obtained at one university in a state. Construct a confidence interval using a 98% confidence level. What does the confidence interval tell about the population of all college students in the state? 3.9, 3.0, 4.1, 4.5, 2.8, 4.3, 3.7, 4.8, 4.2, 4.5, 4.5, 3.8, 3.3, 3.7, 3.7 What is the confidence interval for the population mean μ? < μ < (Round to two decimal places as needed.)

Use the confidence level and sample data to find a confidence interval for estimating the population μ. Round your answer to the same number of decimal places as the sample mean: A group of 53 randomly selected students have a mean score of 33.3 with a standard deviation of 4.4 on a placement test. What is the 90% confidence interval for the mean score, μ, of all students taking the test? Seleccione una: A. 31.7 < μ < 34.9 B. 32.3 < μ < 34.3 C. 31.9 < μ < 34.7 D. 32.1 < μ < 34.5
