Question 1

A researcher records the following weights (in grams) of apples: 150, 152, 148, 149. Calculate the mean and standard deviation.

💡 Hint: First calculate the mean, followed by deviations from that mean.

Question 2

Given a set of measurements with a mean of 20 and standard deviation of 4, what would be the 95% confidence interval if N = 25?

💡 Hint: Recall the formula for confidence intervals involves the SEM and a Z-score for the desired confidence level.
