Determine the type of confidence interval, statistics homework help
A sample of 20 students take Math 203 was randomly selected to evaluate the results on the Math 203 final exam. The average for the sample was 74 with a standard deviation of 7.5. Determine the 95% confidence interval for students taking the exam. Previous studies indicate a standard deviation of 8.3. (Assume that the population standard deviation is the 8.3.) Assume the population is approximately normally distributed.
