An educational psychologist wishes to know the mean number of words a third grader can read per minute. She wants to make an estimate at the 95% level of confidence. For a sample of 582 third graders, the mean words per minute read was 24.1. Assume a population standard deviation of 3.7. Construct the confidence interval for the mean number of words a third grader can read per minute.

The 95% confidence interval for the mean number of words a third grader can read per minute is (23.8, 24.4).

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find our level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

Now, we have to find z in the Z-table as such z has a p-value of .

That is z with a p-value of , so Z = 1.96.

Now, find the margin of error M as such

In which is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 24.1 - 0.3 = 23.8

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 24.1 + 0.3 = 24.4.

The 95% confidence interval for the mean number of words a third grader can read per minute is (23.8, 24.4).
