Answer to Question #197672 in Statistics and Probability for eduardo

Question

Bob wants to know the average GPA of FC students. He surveys 150 random students, and their average GPA is 2.3. Bob reports that the average GPA of FC students is 2.3.

Answer 1

$Mean, \mu=\overline{x}=2.3$

$\sigma =0.8$

$n=150$

For 90% Confidence; $z-score=1.645$

$CI=\overline{x}\:\:\pm z\left(\frac{\sigma }{\sqrt{n}}\right)$

$CI=2.3\pm 1.645\left(\frac{0.8}{\sqrt{150}}\right)$

$CI=2.3\pm 0.11$

$CI=\left(2.19,\:2.41\right)$
