SAT scores: A college admissions officer takes a simple random sample of 100 entering freshmen and computes their mean mathematics SAT score to be 465. Assume the population standard deviation is o=111. a)(a) Construct a 95% confidence interval for the mean mathematics SAT score for the entering freshman class. Round the answer to the nearest whole number.

Step 1
The standard error is calculated by dividing the standard deviation by the square root of the sample size. In this case, the standard deviation is 111 and the sample size is 100. So, the standard error is 111/√100 = 11.1. Show more…

SAT scores: A college admissions officer takes a simple random sample of 100 entering freshmen and computes their mean mathematics SAT score to be 466. Assume the population standard deviation is σ=114. (a) Construct a 99.9% confidence interval for the mean mathematics SAT score for the entering freshman class. Round the answer to the nearest whole number.

A college admissions officer takes a simple random sample of 100 entering freshmen and computes their mean mathematics SAT score to be 455. Assume the population standard deviation is 118. Construct a 98% confidence interval for the mean mathematics SAT score for the entering freshman class. Round the answer to the nearest whole number.

The College Board (the non-profit that owns the SAT) wants to estimate the difficulty of a draft version of the math SAT test. Difficulty is interpreted as the population mean score. The College Board administers the test to 41 randomly-selected students. The mean score in the sample is 534. Assume that scores on the math SAT are approximately normally distributed, and that the population standard deviation is 100 points. Calculate the 99% confidence interval for the population mean score. a.Suppose that the SAT authors want the confidence interval to be no longer than 10 points. What is the minimum sample size they must use? Integer
