3) You want to estimate the average GMAT score for all students who took the Logitano GMAT Preparation course during the past 2 years. You select a random sample of 100 such students from a comprehensive list of all students who took the course over the last two years and find that the average GMAT score for the sample was 1040. Suppose now you build a 95% confidence interval estimate of the average score for the population of Logitano students represented here and the interval turns out to be 1040 ± 10 points. How would you interpret your result?
A) We can be 95% confident that the interval 1030 to 1050 contains the average score for the entire population of Logitano students.
B) The score for 95% of all Logitano students will be between 1030 and 1050.
C) There is a 5% chance that not all Logitano students scored between 1030 and 1050.
D) We can be 95% confident that all of Logitano students scored between 1030 and 1050.
4) The sampling distribution of the sample proportion can be treated as a normal distribution when which of the following conditions holds?
A) n(pi) > or = 5
B) n(1 – pi) > or = 5
C) pi has a uniform distribution
D) both a and b
1 )P(X>220) =1-(220-200)/100 =1-0.2 =0.80
option B
2) B) stratified random sampling
3)
A) We can be 95% confident that the interval 1030 to 1050 contains the average score for the entire population of Logitano students.

A researcher wants to determine whether high school students who attend an SAT preparation course score significantly different on the SAT than students who do not attend the preparation course. For those who do not attend the course, the population mean is 1050 (? = 1050). The 16 students who attend the preparation course average 1200on the SAT, with a sample standard deviation of 100. On the basis of these data, can the researcher conclude that the preparation course has...
