A simple random sample of 120 SAT scores ahs a mean of 1540. Assume that SAT scores have a population standard deviation of 333.

a) Construct a 95% conf. interval estimate of the mean SAT score.

b) Is a 99% conf. interval estimate of the mean SAT score wider than the 95% conf. interval estimate you got from part (a)? Why?

95% = mean ą 1.96 SEm

SEm = SD/√n

99% = mean ą 2.575 SEm

This should allow you to answer the questions.
