Question 1

What does a 95% confidence interval mean?

  • 95% of sample means fall within the interval
  • 95% of intervals contain the true mean
  • 95% likelihood of the sample mean being accurate

💡 Hint: Think about what the interval is intended to reflect in repeated studies.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A study on relaxation techniques finds different sample means for various techniques. Calculate the 90% CI for a mean relax time of 15 minutes with a standard deviation of 4 minutes from 25 participants.

💡 Hint: Use the t-value for 90% confidence, adjusting according to the sample size.

Question 2

Two different classrooms' test scores were gathered: Class A mean is 80 with a standard deviation of 5; Class B mean is 85 with a standard deviation of 10. Compare the 95% confidence intervals for both classes to determine which class's performance is more reliable.

💡 Hint: Calculate the intervals for both classes based on their respective means & standard deviations.
