2. Suppose a new standardized test is given to 100 randomly selected third-grade students in New Jersey. The sample average score, Y¯ , on the test is 58 points, and the sample standard deviation, sY , is 8 points. (a) Construct a 95% confidence interval for the mean score of all New Jersey third graders.
(b) Suppose the same test is given to 200 randomly selected third graders in Iowa, producing a sample average of 62 points and a sample standard deviation of 11 points. Derive the formula for the sample variance of the difference in the sample means between New Jersey and Iowa.
(c) Construct a 90% confidence interval for the difference in mean scores between Iowa and New Jersey. Can you conclude that the population means for Iowa and New Jersey students are different?

A simple random sample of 23 third-grade children from a certain
school district is selected, and each is given a test to measure
his/her reading ability. You are interested in calculating a 90%
confidence interval for the population mean score. In the sample,
the mean score is 64 points and the standard deviation is 14
points. What is the margin of error associated with the confidence
interval?
