Sample estimation calculation: Single sample t


  • A researcher would like to determine the average reading ability for third grade students in the school.   
  • A sample of n = 25 students is selected and each student takes a standardized reading achievement test. 
  • The average score for the sample is M (sample mean) =72 with SS (variance) = 2400. 
  • Use the sample results to construct a 99% confidence interval for the population mean. 
**With 99% confidence, we estimate that the population mean is between 66.408 and 77.594.
